A host of high-profile analysts have taken over Africa’s biggest sports broadcaster SuperSport for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). 

With the biggest names in African football converging in Egypt to battle for AFCON title, SuperSport have put together high-profile analysts in the studio. 

Former Super Eagles captains Austin ‘Jay Jay’Okocha and Joseph Yobo are part of a group of popular names that SuperSport have recruited for AFCON 2019. 

Others include former Ghanaian midfielder Laryea Kingston, decorated former South African national team coach, Pitso Mosimane, Musa Otieno (Kenya), David Obua (Uganda) Tinashe Nengomashe (Zimbabwe), Teko Modise (South Africa), Shaun Bartlett (South Africa) and Oliveira Goncalves (Angola, Maximo).

All through AFCON 2019 in Egypt, these names will feature in several programs on SuperSport including the one-hour build-up, plus a post-match wrap designed to give fans the full picture. 

Furthermore, SuperSport also have crews on hand to document the activities in each group to ensure fans are kept in the know about whatever happens on and off the field.
