SABC Sport unable to broadcast Nigeria vs South Africa Olympic Qualifier

SABC Sport has received the following communication from SAFA – “The South African Football Association (SAFA) wishes to communicate that the away first leg Olympic qualifier between Banyana Banyana and Nigeria in Abuja on Friday afternoon will not be broadcast live on the SABC.

We were not able to secure the feed from the host broadcaster in Nigeria on a reciprocal basis that would have been shared with our partner in South Africa, the SABC. This means the match cannot be broadcast in South Africa as we rely on agreements that our hosts have, if and when they broadcast their matches and share our broadcast feed when we host our matches.

We will endeavor to share our home feed with Nigeria when we host them on Tuesday 9th April 2024.”

The Head of SABC Sport Keletso Totlhanyo commented to say that the second leg on Tuesday 9th April will be live for all South African to enjoy.
