NTA Secures Exclusive Right To Broadcast All 52 AFCON Matches
Nigerians have been scrambling for alternative ways to watch the continent’s biggest football competition.
The National Television Authority (NTA) on Wednesday announced that it has secured the exclusive rights to broadcast all 52 matches of the 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON).
VerseNews reports that the Africa’s largest TV network made this known on its X handle, on Wednesday after signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Afro Sports.
It tweeted, “NTA signs Memorandum of Understanding with Afro Sports for transmission of 52 matches of Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.”
Earlier, Multichoice, the parent company of DStv, last Wednesday, said 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.
VerseNews understands that Nigerians have been scrambling for alternative ways to watch the continent’s biggest football competition.
