Africa-Press – Uganda. MultiChoice Uganda, a CANAL+–owned company, has officially launched the 2025 TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), rallying national pride and support for the Uganda Cranes during a press event held in Kampala.
Demonstrating its commitment to enriching lives through world-class sports entertainment and celebrating Uganda’s passion for football, SuperSport, available on DStv and GOtv in Uganda, will broadcast all 52 matches of the tournament live on Your World of Champions.
The 35th edition of AFCON will be hosted in Morocco from 21 December 2025 to 18 January 2026, and is expected to keep football fans across the country glued to their screens throughout the festive season.
To enhance the viewing experience, SuperSport will introduce a dedicated pop-up channel, SuperSport AFCON (SS AFCON), which will broadcast all AFCON matches live.
The channel will be complemented by in-depth pre-match and post-match analysis on both DStv and GOtv. Matches will also air on SuperSport Africa 2 across both platforms.
