CAF cancels its contract with the channel network “bn sports”

The African Football Confederation “CAF “terminated its largest broadcasting rights contract with the group” bn Sports”, on Tuesday, and raised the possibility of entering into a legal dispute with the Qatari sports media network. The CEO of BN Media Group, Yousef Al-Obaidli, in a letter on Tuesday, informed the members of the executive committee of CAF, receiving the lawyers ‘ letter last Friday”to unilaterally terminate the contractual relationship between BN and CAF with immediate effect”. “I must make it clear to you that BN does not accept this annulment, and will take all necessary legal steps to challenge it and cancel it,” Al-Obaidli wrote. The termination of the contract worth 415 million dollars, which lasts until 2028 with “BN”, would leave “CAF” without a major broadcasting contract just 4 months before the start of the African Cup of nations for men. “Bn” became the main broadcasting partner of”CAF “after the continental federation in 2019 terminated a 12-year contract worth one billion dollars with the French media group” Lagardere”.
