In a surprising move, Multichoice, the owners of Digital Satellite Television (DStv), have announced that they will be broadcasting the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Cote d’Ivoire 2023 on their sports channels, SuperSport.
Recently, the company had reportedly announced that it would not transmit the tournament ‘because the channel has not secured the rights to broadcast.’
However, in new development, it was gathered that SuperSport will indeed show AFCON 2023 games starting from Saturday’s opener between hosts Cote d’Ivoire and Guinea Bissau.
According to those who are familiar with the arrangements, SuperSport rights are non-exclusive and will, therefore, be available on most of its DSTV and GOtv bouquets.
