SportyTV brings FIFA Club World Cup to African fans
The partnership allows SportyTV to broadcast 26 matches from the tournament’s 63 games.
Nigeria.- Football fans in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa and Kenya can watch FIFA Club World Cup matches on SportyTV, thanks to the free-to-air network’s recent content deal with Iris Media.
The partnership allows SportyTV to broadcast 26 matches from the tournament’s 63 games, including all 19 group stage matches, three rounds of 16 ties, two quarterfinal clashes, two semifinals and the ultimate final showdown. However, all matches featuring Mamelodi Sundowns, the only Sub-Saharan team in the Club World Cup, will be aired on the network.
The competition kicked off on June 14, and so far, all teams have played two games each and five have secured their spots in the round of 16. Mamelodi Sundowns started strong with a win over Ulsan Hyundai but faced a tough loss against Borussia Dortmund. To secure a round-of-16 spot, the team must defeat Fluminese on Wednesday, June 25, 2025.
The select matches will continue to stream on SportyTV’s primary channel, digital platform and official YouTube channel, all at no cost to viewers.
By acquiring rights to a tournament like the FIFA Club World Cup, SportyTV has further its reputation as a premier African sports broadcaster. Although the matches are free to watch, increased viewership can lead to higher advertising revenue and potential sponsorship deals.
A spokesperson for Sporty Group said: “We are thrilled to bring the FIFA Club World Cup 202 to African football fans. This is more than just broadcasting; it’s about uniting communities through the love of the game and making world-class football accessible to all.”
