The National Television Authority (NTA) has successfully secured the broadcasting rights for the anticipated 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The monumental deal guarantees that every moment of the continental football extravaganza will be aired on NTA.

The announcement comes as a surprise after Multichoice, the owners of DSTV and Super Sports, failed to secure the rights for the highly coveted football spectacle as in previous years.

The Africa Cup of Nations, also known as the TotalEnergies AFCON or simply AFCON or CAN, is widely recognised as Africa's premier international men's association football competition.

The 2024 edition, set to kick off on Saturday, January 13, 2024, and culminate on Sunday, February 11, will take place in the football nation of Cote d'Ivoire.

NTA has joined forces with Afro Sports, sealing a long memorandum of understanding. This strategic partnership ensures that NTA will broadcast all 52 matches of the AFCON tournament.
