Multichoice has announced that SuperSport will air live all games at this year’s edition of the African Nations Cup live after securing broadcasting lives.
Initially, the company had said it wont be able to broadcast the games after failure to secure rights but a statement on Wednesday afternoon indicated they had finally secured rights for the tournament that kicks off on January, 13 to February 14.
MultiChoice said they had reached a commercially viable agreement with rightsholders, New World TV (NWTV), to broadcast the 34th edition of Africa’s premier men’s football competition taking place in Ivory Coast.
“We are delighted to be able to showcase the best of African football live to our viewers.” As part of this agreement,” said Rendani Ramovha, SuperSport CEO.
Nimonka Kolani, the Managing Director of NWTV said, “By securing the rights to CAN 2023 under the leadership of Dr. Patrice Motsepe, SuperSport and NWTV prove that nothing is more important than the happiness of Africans who wish to follow the exploits of their favourite team during the biggest football competition in Africa.”
