Star Times, on the other hand, will ensure that all the AFCON games are streamed live on their ‘Star Times ON Mobile App’, making it easier for fans to catch every moment of the tournament and stay connected to the action wherever they are.

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. With the AFCON 2023, we’re thrilled to bring football directly to the fans in a way that’s both innovative and accessible. This collaboration with Star Times is therefore a testament to our dedication to providing customer-centric solutions,” said Mr Peter Ndegwa, CEO Safaricom.
