DStv's SuperSport will air the AFCON2023 which gets underway on January 13th in Cote d'Ivoire.

Football fans across Nigeria will breathe a sigh of relief today after Multichoice DStv finally confirmed it will broadcast the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON2023.

Pulse Sports reports this following a post from Multichoice on social media platform, X.com, via GOtv on Wednesday evening.

DStv and AFCON2023 

The satellite TV service owned by Multichoice Group released a statement according to various sources 10 days before the start of the competition in Cote d’Ivoire. 

In the statement, the satellite TV provider noted that their SuperSport channels will not be airing the AFCON on their stations because they failed to secure the rights.

It added that they will, however, cover the continental showpiece through partners via their free-to-air service channels.

But in a switch turnaround, the satellite TV providers have now revealed that all 52 matches will be aired on their channels.
