SuperSport Channel will not broadcast African Cup of Nations games as DSTV failed to secure the tournament’s right to broadcast.

MultiChoice announced this in a statement on Wednesday as football lovers prepare for another edition of AFCON.

“SuperSport Channel will not broadcast the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 scheduled for January 13th to February 11th, 2024, because the channel has not secured the rights to broadcast the tournament,” said MultiChoice.

MultiChoice added, “However, AFCON 2023 games will be available through our partner broadcast stations on Free to Air (FTA) channels.”

Better. Many Nigerians will avoid the usual heartbreaks that come with the activities of the so called super eagles

Purify5:
It's quite unfortunate

Very unfortunate. Just saw it on Punch. With all the money they charge us.

Too bad!

Orrrr No need for January and February subscriptions.
It might even spur me to get the alternative to DSTV..

I just dey pity the nigeria squad

I no wan even reason the keeper BASKET UZOHO

I will pay about N30,000 per month DSTV subscription and not watch AFCON? Someone tell me this is a joke.

Damnnn niggar
They air it or not I don't give a fuckkk

I don't care wether super eagles do well in this tournament

What I'm certain of is that all super eagles opponents to score super eagles over 0.5 goals is a sure odd

And I must stake all my money on it

How come

Good for them how I wish they will also miss out on EPL right for next season

These South Africans, why didn't they let me know since, I no for subscrib.

DSTV have reap me!

Wahala

South Africa Tv…..

Doesn't affect me as long as premiere league / champions League isn't tampered with plus my discovery ID😂

These guys are not serious.

Chai..



I guess the Ghana-Must-Go bags are not full and heavy enough to exchange hands.


Lobarton!!

The only thing that still make me subscribe to DSTV is big brother. The day I will say to hell to big brother is the same day I will say to hell with DSTv

Probably the fees was too high and Multi choice refused to pay cos they couldn't get a good enough profit Margin on that deal. Or it could be that they are trying to promote their Business which is doing Free to air and help dem get enough Subscribers with AFCON..

people hardly watch African football except on SEMI's or finals


They don't want to waste money

OGTV will broadcast it.

This is the biggest news in the mediashpere of Nigeria 🇳🇬


The monopoly of this guys is too much. Finally, one can watch AFCON with a free mind...

Giant of Africa crying over SA tv

Good I no wan get bp

Very good let's go back to the 80s and 90s where we watch football through our transistor radios and vivid imaginations of jay jay okocha dancing through the midfields as captured and told by our bias radio commentators....or better still hope NTA the archaic channel that represents how nigeria has remain stagnant for 50 years,air the matches for us......tinubu has finally driven us back to the 80s maybe he might take us to the stone ages, who knows?

What of AIT and NTA?!

Make dem no wori .... our precious NTA will do it for us!!!

Dey don reap us again....

So should we fry beans?

N.B: Some DSTV would channels would show it but SuperSport wouldn't. CANAL, for example is on DSTV (French Bouquet) and would air the AFCON.

Good thing I stopped subscribing months ago.
How will you just force commentators on people without giving them the option to choose?
