Safaricom has partnered with Star Times to offer football fans in Kenya a convenient viewing experience of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 on mobile devices.

This partnership will ensure unlimited internet connections, and all-access to the matches and other interesting content on mobile.
“Our goal at Safaricom has always been to offer more than just services – we strive to create experiences that resonate with our customers’ passions.

This collaboration with Star Times is therefore a testament to our dedication to providing customer-centric solutions,” said Mr Peter Ndegwa, CEO Safaricom.
AFCON is Africa’s biggest football festival. This year’s edition is being hosted by Côte d’Ivoire in West Africa with 24 African national teams battling to crowned kings of the continent. It will culminate in its final match on 11th February 2024.
This is amazing news! As a sports fan, I can’t wait to catch all the action from AFCON 2023 on my mobile phone. Thanks to Safaricom and Star Times for making it possible. Great way to stay connected to the game wherever I am!
