‘What NPFL, Inview Technology (DSO) Broadcast Partnership Will Bring To The League’

In a significant advancement for Nigerian sports media, Inview Technology (operators of Nigeria’s Digital Switch Over – DSO) and the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) have recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the potential to transform the broadcasting, marketing, and commercial landscape of club football in Nigeria.

The Chairman of the NPFL, Otunba Gbenga Elegbeleye, in his first public comments since signing the partnership, described it as the game changer that the league has long needed.

“The partnership aims to deliver world-class live coverage, centralised content management, and unified sponsorship and marketing strategies, enhancing fan engagement while unlocking new revenue opportunities for clubs and stakeholders,” remarked the NPFL Chairman.

In keeping with its tech-driven operations, Inview Technology DSO will deploy end-to-end broadcast and streaming solutions, establish a dedicated NPFL TV channel named “AfroSoccer”, and ensure international production standards alongside local technical training.

Furthermore, the NPFL will provide coordination, regulatory support, and access to league fixtures, venues, and clubs.

“We will stretch ourselves in the area of operations to provide the enabling platform for our partners to implement the great strategies they are bringing,” he added.

To enhance the viewing experience for fans, both those in stadiums and those watching on handheld devices, a high-definition, interactive experience will be available through the AfroSoccer free-to-air channel, the FreeTV Mobile App, and over 25 partner television channels, ensuring NPFL matches are accessible to fans nationwide. The FreeTV App allows users to pause, rewind, replay, or watch their favourite matches on demand—anytime and anywhere.

This collaboration is set to elevate the NPFL’s global profile, strengthen commercial opportunities, and build local capacity in sports media production—ushering in a new era for Nigerian football broadcasting.
