Multichoice, the parent company of DStv, confirmed on Wednesday that the popular satellite TV service will not broadcast the upcoming AFCON 2023 tournament.
In a statement, Multichoice stated that SuperSport TV failed to secure the broadcasting rights, leaving millions across Africa scrambling for alternative ways to watch the continent’s biggest footballing event.
The 34th edition of the CAF AFCON will get underway on 13 January in Ivory Coast as 24 nations eye the biggest prize in African football.
The statement reads, “SuperSportChannel 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.
