The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced a new partnership with a broadcasting company to bring its various competitions to fans across the continent in the lead-up to AFCON 2024.
The African football governing body has sold the rights of its competitions to Togo-based NewWorldTV for the 2023-2025 seasons.
As a result, the 2024 AFCON, CAF Champions League, CAF Confederations Cup, and other CAF tournaments will be accessible on New World TV’s pay TV and free-to-air channels across Africa.
According to CAF, the deal is a groundbreaking one aimed at making its competitions more affordable and accessible across Africa.
This partnership will ensure that fans across the continent can watch their favourite CAF tournaments without any financial constraints.

Fans will be able to tune in to New World TV to catch the action live, and the company’s free-to-air channels will ensure that those without access to pay TV can still enjoy the games.
Earlier this year, the Confederation of African Football terminated the broadcasting media rights agreement it had signed with Saudi Arabia’s Bein Sports.
This move was in line with CAF’s strategy to improve the accessibility of its competitions across Africa.
