The African Cup of Nations brings in good figures for BeIN Sports. More than that, the Qatari group’s channel achieved the two best audiences in its history during the quarter-finals of the competition. The number of viewers soared last Friday and Saturday.
A priori, BeIN can thank the supporters of Cameroon, Morocco, Algeria and Nigeria, as well as the rest of the followers of CAN 2025. According to L’Équipe, the pay channel broke its record thanks to the success of the Atlas Lions against the Indomitable Lions (2-0). On average, the poster brought together 641,000 people, with a peak of 784,000, according to figures collected by Médiamétrie and shared by BeIN Sports.
480,000 for Algeria-Nigeria
The next day, audiences did not reach such heights, but remained at an exceptional level for the media. The Fennecs’ defeat against the Super Eagles (2-0) attracted 480,000 viewers on average, topped off with a peak of 708,000.
If the Algerian team did not reach the semi-finals, the last four promises a new wave of curious people. On Wednesday, the French broadcaster of the competition will broadcast live the Senegal-Egypt (6 p.m.) and Morocco-Nigeria (9 p.m.) matches.
