SABC have reacted with surprise and disappointment that Caf sold the rights to broadcast the Champions League final between Kaizer Chiefs and Al Ahly on Saturday to SuperSport despite the public broadcaster having met the asking price.
Amakhosi take on overwhelming favourites Al Ahly‚ who are coached by Pitso Mosimane‚ in the final at Stade Mohammed V in Casablanca‚ Morocco, on Saturday night .
“Despite the SABC meeting Caf’s asking price for the free-to-air rights‚ the offer was rejected on the basis that Caf has signed an exclusive deal with SuperSport that covers all rights‚ including the free-to-air rights‚ for this match.” “The SABC had always intended to broadcast this historic match given the massive support Kaizer Chiefs enjoys in South Africa and acknowledging that this is the club’s first Caf Champions League Final.
SABC added that they tried to reach out to the leadership of Caf to explain that selling the rights exclusively to SuperSport was not in the interest of the South African public.
