Canal+ has announced that its MultiChoice subsidiary, SuperSport, has secured broadcast rights for the CAF TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 25 (AFCON 2025) for English and Portuguese-speaking Sub-Saharan African countries.

When the 35th edition of the tournament kicks off in Morocco on December 21st, Canal+ will become the first broadcaster to bring viewers the competition in French, English, Portuguese and in different African local languages.

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.”

CAF President, Dr Patrice Motsepe, added: “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 Côte d’Ivoire, 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.”

Throughout the tournament, CANAL+ and SuperSport will provide expert coverage with a line-ups of journalists, consultants and African football legends, such as Cédric Kante, Mamadou Niang, Fousseni Diawara, Claude Le Roy, Samuel Lobé, Salomon Kalou, Carol Tshabalala, Daniel Akpeyi, Teko Modise, Bongani Khumalo, Shaun Barlett, Amanda Dlamini, Simphiwe Dludlu, and more.
