In a major step forward for Nigerian sports media, Sports247 Nigeria has officially partnered with IKAROS ANTIAS S.A., acting as the Media Rights Distributor for and on behalf of the tournament organizer, SOCCA LIMITED, to broadcast the SOCCA Champions League 2025 live from Greece.
This landmark agreement, which commenced on October 16, 2025, and runs through October 15, 2026, grants Sports247 the exclusive broadcast and distribution rights to the tournament in Nigeria, as well as unlimited usage rights for all licensed content during the period.
IKAROS ANTIAS S.A., a leading media distribution company incorporated under the laws of Greece (Company No. EL998051310) with offices at 12 Agias Fotinis, Athens 17121, serves as the bridge connecting the global tournament to regional broadcasters around the world — ensuring seamless access and top-quality content delivery.
Under this partnership, Sports247 will broadcast the SOCCA Champions League — a thrilling mini-football tournament featuring top clubs from Europe, Africa, and beyond — completely free of charge to Nigerian viewers. The event, running from October 17 to 20, 2025, features more than 24 live games, including the grand final, along with exclusive highlight shows, interviews, and English-language commentary.
“Our goal has always been to put Nigerian sports and grassroots development on the global map,” said Jide-Ojo, Founder of Sports247 Nigeria. “Partnering with IKAROS ANTIAS and SOCCA LIMITED is more than a broadcast deal — it’s a celebration of Nigerian sports excellence and the growing global respect for our homegrown sports platforms.”
This collaboration marks a milestone in the evolution of grassroots sports media in Nigeria. By bringing international tournaments like the SOCCA Champions League directly to Nigerian screens, Sports247 continues to amplify the nation’s voice in global sports and inspire a new generation of athletes, fans, and storytellers.
Beyond live coverage, the license allows Sports247 to feature replays, match highlights, player interviews, and behind-the-scenes content throughout the year — giving fans extended access and enriching the grassroots sports narrative in Nigeria.
“Sports247 has proven that with passion, consistency, and integrity, local sports media can reach global heights,” said Marco Saccullo, representing IKAROS ANTIAS S.A. “We are proud to have them as our partners in Nigeria and look forward to a lasting collaboration that benefits both sports and fans.”
As the SOCCA Champions League 2025 reaches its Final Day today, the partnership stands as a shining example of how Nigerian sports platforms are breaking boundaries — from community football pitches to international tournaments — powered by innovation, collaboration, and a love for the game.
