AFCON: NTA, Afro Sports Sign Pact To Transmit 52 Matches
The Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and Afro Sports have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the transmission of 52 matches of the Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.
Recall that Multichoice Africa recently announced that DSTV and SuperSport Channel on GOtv will not broadcast the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 which is scheduled for January- 13th February 11th, 2024.
The South African company in a statement said, “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 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 Super Eagles are in high spirits in Camp due to the recent approval given by President Bola Tinubu for the clearing of over N12 billion backlog of salaries and allowances for the Nigeria National teams.
