DStv
subcompany, Multichoice , on Wednesday, expressed that, the upcoming African
Cup of Nations tournament would not be broadcasted on its platform.
It said the
satellite failed to secure the broadcasting rights to broadcast the continent’s
biggest footballing event on its SuperSport channels.
“SuperSport
Channel will not broadcast the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 scheduled for
January 13th – February 11th, 2-24, 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
Africa remains committed to ensuring football fans across Africa continue to
enjoy unrivaled 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

The 34th edition of AFCON will begin on 13 January in Ivory Coast.
