The Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria (BON) has made it known to all Nigerians that they will be able to watch the final match of the 2013 African
Cup of Nations, (AFCON) between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the
Stallions of Burkina Faso on Sunday.
The match will be aired live on local stations, the regulatory body confirmed.
BON now has an agreement with the Confederation of African Football and
Broadcast Rights owners of the African Cup of Nations, AFCON 2013.
It has been so bad and dishearthened that Nigerian football fans have been unable to watch live matches in the
on-going Nations Cup on local television stations as a result of the
disagreement between BON and the TV right owners for the tournament over
the amount to be paid by Nigeria for the broadcast rights, which was just too much.
Television broadcasters in Nigeria refused to pay the sum of N1.4Billion
bill demanded by the French company that had bought the rights to the
tournament from CAF.
The new deal will avail millions of Nigerians to watch the final match of AFCON 2013 in the comfort of their homes. 'Guess thats good to hear b'cos most people are not are using the DSTV cable that is showing the match.
