SABC to the rescue! National broadcaster to broadcast all 2023 Afcon matches after SuperSport TV pulled out

Multichoice-owned SuperSport TV <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/multichoice-owned-supersport-tv-has-announced-it-will-not-broadcast-the-2023-africa-cup-of-nations-after-losing-rights-to-new-world-tv/bltce9eb80d3ec88126#csfb9bc63a955cb5f8" target="_blank">announced they have failed to secure exclusive rights</a> to air the lucrative biennial competition.It was an <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/no-caf-champions-league-no-confederation-cup-no-african-football-league-no-afcon-but-ticking-boxes-for-uefa-champions-league-imagine-failing-your-own-africans-fans-react-to-afcon-blackout/bltffcaac5f32ea2d73#csd2cbf6340fa573d2" target="_blank">unwelcome move</a> since thousands of South Africans would have missed watching their national team in action.

WHAT HAPPENED

SuperSport has been one of the most reliable regular broadcasters of all African competitions over the years, but recently, they have toned down as far as Caf competitions are concerned.They even failed to broadcast the inaugural African Football League that was won by Premier Soccer League champions Mamelodi Sundowns. Togo's New World TV was handed the rights to show this edition, locking out SuperSport. However, Mzansi has a reason to smile after the recent announcement by SABC.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"SABC is pleased to announce the acquisition of the Africa Cup of Nations 2023 broadcasting rights and the rest of CAF events for the 2024 season," read a statement to the public."With the local PSL season taking a break for the next six weeks, SABC Sport will be offering its audiences and commercial partners the live experience of all the 52 matches of Afcon 2023, in which the South African national team, Bafana Bafana will also be participating."

WHAT SABC SAID

"In addition, SABC Sport has also acquired the live matches to the rest of the Caf events, which includes all 150 matches of the 2025 Afcon qualifiers, all the 32 matches of 2024 Chan, all matches of 2023/24 Caf Champions League, all matches of 2023/24 Caf Confederations Cup, all the matches of 2024 Caf Africa Women Cup of Nations, all matches of 2024 Caf Women’s Champions League and all the matches of 2024 Caf Super Cup," the media firm confirmed.

AND WHAT IS MORE

South Africans now can comfortably follow Bafana Bafana's performances in the forthcoming Afcon scheduled to start on Saturday, January 13. Banyana Banyana, Sundowns, SuperSport United and Sekhukhune United will also be taking part in Caf competitions this year and fans can watch the teams in action on SABC platforms.
