Multichoice, a South African pay TV provider, has declared that its SuperSport networks would not broadcast the 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast.
This follows CAF’s decision to grant New World TV exclusive Sub-Saharan African rights.
In a statement, Multichoice confirmed that its SuperSport Channels won’t be broadcasting the tournament after it failed to secure TV rights.
The statement reads, “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.”
