In a release statement from CAF Media Director, Junior Binyam the governing body said it looks forward to celebrating more exciting successes for the African continent’s game.
“CAF and SPORTFIVE, its exclusive media and marketing agent, are proud to announce major evolutions on the production side: on September 10th, 2014, 11 games counting for round 2 of the Orange AFCON 2015 Qualifiers were simultaneously produced and distributed in HD, another first for AFCON games. CAF and SPORTFIVE have mainly relied on African production resources and technical teams in achieving this landmark performance, continuing to promote the Orange AFCON 2015 as a leading event and a premium media product” the statement read
Europe on the other hand celebrated a decade broadcasting its regular matches in HD last July (since the France against England game at Euro 2004).
