SuperSport Aligns with AWSN

SuperSport is partnering with the All Women’s Sports Network (AWSN) to bring the 24-hour women’s sports network to African audiences.

AWSN is now available as a fully produced live stream on DStv Stream, accessible to subscribers of the Access package. The channel, co-founded by Whoopi Goldberg, features over 2,500 hours of live women’s sports annually, as well as an on-demand slate.

SuperSport has been expanding its coverage of women’s sports, including producing the Netball World Cup and delivering coverage of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) tournament and the Women’s EUROs. SuperSport also runs the Women’s Empowerment Programme.

“At SuperSport, we are deeply committed to fostering an environment where female athletes can thrive and where women in sport, across all roles, are celebrated and empowered,” said Rendani Ramovha, CEO of SuperSport. “The launch of AWSN, coupled with our ‘Here for Her’ initiatives and the incredible talent we showcase, underscores our unwavering dedication to supporting female athletes and ensuring their stories and achievements inspire generations to come. This is more than just broadcasting; it’s about building a legacy.”

George Chung, CEO of AWSN, added: “Partnering with SuperSport to bring AWSN’s live television programming to Africa is a transformative moment for our network and for the global growth of women’s sports. This expansion isn’t just about entering a new market. It’s about building sustained, global growth for women’s sports and creating access to, and visibility of, world-class female athletes for young women to become deeply inspired, dream bigger and work harder to achieve success on and off the field.”
