TOGO : New World TV secures broadcasting rights for CAF competitions
New World TV, the multi-themed television channel broadcasting from Lomé, Togo, has just secured the broadcasting rights for all Confederation of African Football (CAF) competitions in 46 sub-Saharan African countries for a duration of 3 years.
Following the broadcast of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2023), the pan-African media group has obtained the broadcasting rights for all CAF sporting events.
On Friday, the media group promised quality productions and narratives that resonate with the continent’s cultural diversity, committing to providing exceptional coverage of CAF competitions.
« I am delighted because thanks to these new rights, we are going to experience unforgettable moments on New World TV channels for the next three years. This initiative also opens up opportunities for local talents, from commentators to producers, thus contributing to the emergence of an authentic African voice in the field of sports », expressed Nimonka Kolani, the Managing Director of the pan-African media group.
Currently, the contract includes two types of rights, namely free-to-air rights and pay-TV rights broadcast on New World TV channels across Africa.
The channel will broadcast in full and in real-time 13 different competitions taking place over the next 3 years. These include the Africa Cup of Nations 2023 in Côte d’Ivoire and the Africa Cup of Nations 2025, the CAF Men’s and Women’s Champions League, as well as the U17 and U20 AFCON. The media giant will also broadcast the majority of UEFA Champions League matches.
The matches will be commented in French, English, as well as in local languages such as Lingala, Wolof, Bambara, Dioula, and Ewe.
