A groundbreaking milestone that allows CANAL+ and SuperSport to offer their subscribers a unique viewing experience for the most African prestigious football competition. It illustrates the Group’s ambition to bring African football accessible to all, while highlighting the linguistic richness of the continent.

CANAL+ Africa CEO, David Mignot, said: “Our newly-formed merger with the MultiChoice Group has already unlocked opportunities and benefits for our customers. And this year’s TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 25 is a great demonstration of the power and potential of this common ambition: bringing together our expertise to offer an unprecedented coverage. Moreover, broadcasting this competition in different languages is a strong way to build closeness with our viewers. For all these reasons, our subscribers will be part of the most spectacular celebration of African football."

When the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations takes place in Morocco in December, Africans everywhere — on the continent and across the diaspora — will be watching with pride.
