SuperSport took to their X handle to announce the latest development by using the “no gree for anybody” slang, which is a widely used cliche in 2024

SuperSport channels on the pay-TV platforms, DStv and GOTV, confirmed on Wednesday that they will broadcast all 52 games at the forthcoming AFCON, despite an earlier announcement of their failure to secure the TV rights for the event.

SuperSport hasn’t been showing any CAF-related events since last year, including the World Cup qualifiers in Africa.

But the South Africa-based broadcaster took to its X handle to announce the latest development by using the “no gree for anybody” cliche, which has become widely used in 2024.

The post said, “No gree for anybody! Watch all 52 matches of the #afcon2023 on @supersports”.

This means there will be many streams to view AFCON in Nigeria without solely relying on StarTimes.

Earlier in 2024, after the news of SuperSport’s failure to secure TV rights brought angst and disappointment, New World TV, a sports channel on another pay-TV platform, Startimes, was announced as the sole channel in Sub-Saharan Africa to view the 34th edition of the competition.

“The media rights agreement with New World TV is the biggest investment by a pan-African broadcaster in CAF’s history,” said CAF President Patrice Motsepe.
