ITV4 has secured broadcast rights to live coverage and highlights from the upcoming African Cup of Nations in a new deal announced today.

ITV4 will broadcast four live games from the African Cup of Nations, which takes place from January 21st to February 12th in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea: one key game from the group stages (Ivory Coast v Burkina Faso), plus live coverage of one quarter final, one semi final and the final. There will also be comprehensive highlights programmes throughout the tournament on ITV4. Matches will also be simulcast on the ITV Football website.

Niall Sloane, ITV’s Controller of Sport said: "The African Cup of Nations is a major football event with a huge following in the UK and I’m delighted that we’ll be offering viewers free to air live coverage and highlights throughout the tournament on ITV4."

More information, including details of the presenting team and transmission times, will be announced next week here on the ITV Football website.

Yeh. That's the more pressing matter. But I think they have a pretty good side. At least in attack. They could go a fair way. While Cote d'Ivoire are probably close to favourites.

 

What are the odds for a Senegal v Cote d'Ivoire final?

Up there with other hits such as ''Happy New Year Cunts''.

 

Perhaps why Newcastle Online got shot of him ;)

 

I got released from N-O because the mods there are a bunch of pathetic, childish twats who jizz over the prospect of banning someone because they can.

It is a key game and should be entertaining.

 

I'm looking forward to the African goalkeeping masterclasses, personally.

 

Energy Murambadoro!

:lol:

 

There's been some class African footballer names- Have-a-Look Dube, also Zimbabwean, Two-Boys Gladstone Gamede, Danger Fourpence,Bongo Christ, Johnny Moustache.

 

Best ever, though has to be Ralph Minge.

Is it bad that we're all wishing Ba professional failure in the ACN?

 

Yes it is. If the lads win the competition for example, they will come back stronger in such a mindset, ready to crush other teams. And they will gain value in case you want to sell them later. And besides, you should be happy for them if they can go so far for their country. It's important for them so if you like the guy you should hope the best for him ;)
