ZNBC will ONLY show AFCON home qualifiers

ZNBC will show live Zambia’s two remaing home games in the Morocco AFCON 2015 qualifer, following an agreement with Sport Five.

According to the agreement, ZNBC will meet the cost of production, and sport Five will provide the feed to the National Broadcaster.

But ZNBC will NOT show live tonight’s game between Zambia and Cape Verde.

Acting Corporate Affairs Manager Mpunga Simukwayi says this is due to financial limitations.

ZNBC failed to raise money needed to buy the rights from Sport Five that the game could be shown live on TV.

Sport Five had demanded 4-Hundred thousand dollars, but only agreed to reduce the price to 325-thousand dollars for three away and home matches, which ZNBC could however not still manage to raise.
