To support the cause and ensure Nigerians’ unrestricted access to great sports content, Flutterwave, leading payment technology company in Africa has pledged its support for Afrosport TV by taking up the sponsorship of the AFCON 2021 broadcast. The sponsorship would facilitate the world class delivery of the AFCON 2021 on free-to-air TVs in Nigeria as well as on the African Union of Broadcasters’(AUB) network across the continent.

All of the 52 matches will be transmitted on a tripod of Free-to-air TV networks such as the NTA Network Service, the Broadcasting Organization of Nigeria’s (BON) Network of selected members TV Stations plus Afrosport TV on the National Broadcasting Commission’s (NBC) digital platform – Free TV.   

Explaining the rationale behind the sponsorship deal, CEO and Founder Flutterwave, Mr. Olugbenga GB Agboola said, “The idea of making quality sports content available and accessible to every Nigerian for free resonates with the ideal of making life easy, which is one of the reasons why we founded Flutterwave.”.

“We have shown our passion for African entertainment, technology and now sports. We are for everything that will unite Africa and create endless possibilities for the continent. If getting free access to sports, which represents our passion as Africans and fosters our unity, is what makes life easy and grows our unity as a continent, we will surely be standing tall”, Agboola concluded. He also assured Africans everywhere that Flutterwave will always seek to connect to Nigerians on platforms that matter most.
