Multichoice has announced that SuperSport will not air this year’s edition of the African Cup of Nations after the company failed to secure broadcasting rights.
“SuperSport Channel will not broadcast the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 scheduled for January 13th – February 11th, 2024, because the channel has not secured the rights to broadcast the tournament. However, AFCON 2023 games will be available through our partner broadcast stations on Free to Air (FTA) channels,” Multichoice said in a statement on Wednesday.
“Multichoice Africa remains committed to ensuring football fans across Africa continue to enjoy unrivalled access to entertainment and football games available on DStv and GOtv platforms including, the Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Zambian Super League and many more of football’s most prestigious competitions.”
The development comes on the backdrop of the rights to broadcast AFCON being awarded to Togo’s New World TV to the detriment of Dstv.
