Nouakchott, Mauritania (PANA) – The Mauritania Television (TVM) will not telecast images from the African Nations football Championship (CHAN), holding in South Africa from 11 January to 1 February, 2014, PANA learnt from sports sources here.
The sources said this is because TVM did not secure TV rights from the Qatar international channel Al Jazzira Sports which has the exclusive rights to the competition under an accord it signed with the Confederation of Affrican Football (CAF).
For the first time in its history, Mauritania will take part in the tournament and this has created a huge passion in football fans.
Mauritania will play in group D with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Gabon and Burundi.
Mauritania’s first match will be on 14 January against the DRC.
