SuperSport, Africa's largest pay TV broadcaster, has announced its decision not to broadcast the highly anticipated 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The revelation comes as the network failed to secure rights for the tournament, leaving fans in the dark about the fate of their viewing experience. In an official statement released on Wednesday, SuperSport confirmed this unprecedented move, signaling a major shake-up in the sports broadcasting landscape.
However, all is not lost for football enthusiasts as the 2023 AFCON will still be accessible on Free To Air (FTA) Channels, ensuring a broader reach for the continental tournament.
As the AFCON, scheduled from January 13th to February 11th, 2024, approaches, the absence of SuperSport from the broadcasting lineup raises questions about the impact on viewership, sponsorships, and the overall dynamics of sports coverage.
