Africa’s united for the 2021 CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and the sporting events in Cameroon are live on TelkomONE via SABC Sport and a dedicated pop-up channel the streaming service has rolled-out for this pan-African soccer fest.
After an opening ceremony this past weekend that captured the outstanding diversity of the African continent and its billion-plus people, the football action has kicked off in earnest.
Altogether, some 52 AFCON games will be played until Sunday, 6 February 2022 and TelkomONE viewers will be able to access them live and via the Catch-Up service. Provided they have registered on the site, TelkomONE users can access the games free via SABC Sport and the dedicated AFCON channel.
“Ensuring TelkomONE users have access to the continent’s best soccer action, in the most convenient format, stays true to our founding promise of serving the best content and matching it with unparalleled functionality,” says Wanda Mkhize, Executive Smart Home & Content at Telkom.
Sanctioned by the Confederation of African Football, AFCON is the main international men’s association football competition for Africa. Algeria are the current champions.
