SABC secures the rights to broadcast the AFCON

The SABC has secured the rights to broadcast the Africa Cup of Nations football tournament in Ivory Coast starting on the 13th of this month.

The highly-anticipated sports spectacle will feature the South African national team and will only be available on the SABC channels across all broadcasting platforms in South Africa. The public broadcaster will air all 52 matches.

The Chief Operations Officer Ian Plaatjies says, “SABC Sports has also acquired the live matches to the rest of the CAF events including the AFCON 2025 qualifiers, the CAF Champions League and the CAF Africa Women Cup of Nations 2024. This is really great news.”

“Yes, we managed to conclude the deal today. We will actually be doing the opening ceremony right to the closing and all the games. We do believe sport is of national interest. It must not be exclusive to any broadcaster but should be available to all.
