DStv subscribers in the country have been assured of the privilege of having access to all 32 matches of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nation (AFCON) starting this weekend in Equatorial Guinea.
Managing Director, MultiChoice Nigeria, John Ugbe, assured DStv subscribers that between January 17 and February 8, the AFCON football matches will be broadcast live on DStv and GOtv with expert analysis from one of football’s greatest winners, Marcel Desailly, among others.
Speaking at the unveiling of the 2015 AFCON programmes in Lagos yesterday, Ugbe said that the 2015 AFCON will be live and in High Definition across DSTv various platforms and channels.
“2015 AFCON will be on five channels:SS5/HD, SS7, SS9East, Maximo and Select while GOtv subscribers will have access to a select number of matches on SuperSport Select 1 including the kick-off and final matches.
“AFCON is Africa’s showpiece football event and we are delighted to offer it on various channels and platforms to ensure the channels are the number one destination for AFCON action for viewers across Africa,” stressed Ugbe.
Ghanaian-born former France international, Desailly, will headline SuperSport’s stellar line-up of analysts which includes Neil Tovey, former Ghana international Samuel Kuffour and the straight-talking Benni McCarthy.
Desailly’s expert opinion is highly sought-after by broadcasters around the world given that he has won almost all there is to win by an international. His honours include the FIFA World Cup and Confederations Cup, the Euro Championship, the UEFA Champions League and Super Cup as well as many domestic league and cup titles.
The analysts will also lend their expert opinion and knowledge to Masterplan, a show which unpacks the matches from a tactical point of view.
Masterplan is one of two weekly magazine shows that will be available on SuperSport, the other being Harambe, which will bring viewers even closer to the action through social media interaction and the sights and sounds of Equatorial Guinea. Harambe will be anchored by ChikoLawi.
South African duo of Robert Marawa and Carol Tshabalala will be based in studio to analyse matches while Yaw Ampofu-Ankrah from Ghana, Franklin Tembo Jnr from Zambia and South Africa’s Sizwe Mabena are roving reporters to feed the studios with live reporting from Equatorial Guinea.
