Most Nigerians can't watch Africa Cup of Nations games on home TV

Issued on:

Africa's biggest and most important football tournament, the Africa Cup of Nations is currently giving enjoyment to millions in Africa. But football fans in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, are unable to watch the matches on local television. Nigerian television stations say agents of Sportfive, the Paris-based international sports rights marketing agency simply charged too much for live coverage. As a result, commercial football viewing centres where people can watch the matches on foreign television stations, are thriving.
