Traditional platforms where football fans normally watch the Super Eagles whenever they are in action were blank for Thursday’s much-talked about friendly against the Teranga Lions of Senegal.
That development did not go down well with many Nigerians as they could not get a grasp of their darling team who ended up playing a commendable 1-1 draw against the second most ranked team on the continent.
Several reasons have been mentioned as to why the Super Eagles game did not make it to live TV despite the quality opposition they were lined up to face.
SuperSport, the cable satellite television station that aired most of Nigeria’s recent matches, said it did not bid to air the friendly.
In a chat with PREMIUM TIMES, Felix Awogu, the General Manager of SuperSport West Africa, said his organisation did not bid for the right to beam the Super Eagles game for a number of reasons.
“You are not given the rights to show a match, you actually bid for it and in the case of Thursday’s game we did not bid” Awogu explained.
According to the SuperSport boss, logistics around the Senegal-Nigeria game were not too clear hence the reason why they did not bid for the right, let alone show the game.
