Nigerians Protest CAF's Decision on AFCON 2025 TV Coverage

Nigerian football fans are protesting the Confederation of African Football's (CAF) decision to restrict the number of AFCON 2025 matches broadcast on free-to-air TV. They argue that the allocation of 32 matches to terrestrial channels is insufficient compared to the 52 matches available in Europe.

Nigerians are urging CAF, African governments, and heads of state to address this perceived injustice before the tournament kicks off in December 2025. The CAF General Secretary, V.

Ron Mosengo Omba, highlighted a partnership with UK's Channel 4 to ensure widespread coverage of the tournament in households. Stanlei Okoro, a football fan from Enugu, emphasized the importance of making AFCON accessible to all.
