Nigerian football enthusiasts were left disappointed as they were unable to catch the Super Eagles’ match against the Lesotho Crocodiles on television on Thursday as they commenced their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign.
The blackout of Thursday’s game extended across terrestrial and cable stations in the country, leaving many bewildered about the unavailability of the national team’s match on television.
According to investigations by PREMIUM TIMES, the absence of the Super Eagles game on air was largely attributed to the excessively high cost of the broadcast rights for the World Cup qualifiers.
