Final match 2013 AFCON: Nigerians to watch Nigeria-Burkina Faso on TV

Nigeria Vs Burkina Faso on TV  - Sunday's final match of the 2013 African Nations Cup tournament between Nigeria and Burkina Faso will be watched live by Nigerians on terrestrial television, according to the CAF Secretary General, Hicham El Amran.


Terrestrial television is a mode of television broadcasting which does not involve satellite transmission or cables — typically using radio waves through transmitting and receiving antennas or television antenna aerials.

El Amran told a media conference in Johannesburg that the confederation and the Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria had reached an understanding that will enable Nigerian television stations to pick signals of the final match and broadcast to Nigerian homes.

Since the competition began on 19 January, Nigerian television stations have been unable to show the matches live owing to disputes on the television rights which were considered too high.
