CANAL+ and SuperSport Secure Broadcast Rights for TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025
CANAL+ has announced that its MultiChoice subsidiary, SuperSport, has secured the broadcast rights for the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025™ in English and Portuguese-speaking African countries. This marks a significant milestone for the broadcaster, as it will be the first global network to provide coverage of the tournament in French, English, Portuguese, and local indigenous languages.
The 35th edition of the competition is set to begin on December 21, 2025, in Morocco. With this deal, CANAL+ aims to deliver the most comprehensive football viewing experience ever offered for Africa’s premier football event. The group made the announcement on November 6, 2025, confirming that SuperSport has reached an agreement with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to broadcast the tournament across English and Portuguese-speaking Sub-Saharan African territories.
David Mignot, CEO of CANAL+ Africa, emphasized the significance of the partnership: “Our newly-formed merger with the MultiChoice Group has already unlocked opportunities and benefits for our customers. This year’s TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 is a great demonstration of the power and potential of this common ambition: bringing together our expertise to offer 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.”
Dr Patrice Motsepe, President of CAF, expressed his excitement about the partnership: “This is an exciting day for CAF and for 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. Millions will follow the games on television, celebrating the best that African football has to offer. In Ivory Coast, the last AFCON attracted approximately 1.5 billion viewers globally. We anticipate that this edition will be an even greater success, reaching new audiences and inspiring the world once again. When 180 nations express interest in broadcasting AFCON, it is proof that the world is excited about African football.”
Rendani Ramovha, Director of Sport Content for English and Portuguese-speaking Africa at MultiChoice (a CANAL+ company), added: “We are especially proud to be able to bring the story of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025™, live to all our viewers in English and Portuguese-speaking Sub-Saharan African territories. SuperSport has been the preferred choice for millions of passionate fans across the continent, and this tournament won’t be different, as we will have a dedicated SuperSport AFCON channel. As part of the CANAL+ Group, we can take that viewing experience to another level, which means people can expect more compelling viewing, brought to them in a language of their choice. It is truly poised to be a celebration of African glory.”
