NBS Sport once again proved why it is the home of world-class sports broadcasting with a successful production and broadcast of Day Two of the 2nd round of the 2025 Rugby Africa Cup, held on 13th July at the iconic Namboole National Stadium.
Building on the momentum of Day One, the production team once again delivered a seamless, engaging, and high-impact viewer experience that matched international standards.
Day Two featured four high-stakes fixtures that determined who would progress to the finals and placement rounds:
- Zimbabwe Sables edged Kenya Simbas 29-23, in a thrilling contest that went down to the wire.
- Namibia overpowered Algeria 21-7, with a disciplined and dominant performance.
- Morocco shocked hosts Uganda with a 24-12 victory, capitalizing on every opportunity.
- Senegal comfortably defeated Côte d’Ivoire 28-3, in a commanding team display.
With these results, Zimbabwe and Namibia secured their places in the final, scheduled for Saturday, 19th July at Namboole, where they will battle for the 2025 Rugby Africa Cup title.
Meanwhile, the remaining teams will face off in placement matches to determine their final standings in the tournament.
Beyond the action on the pitch, it was the broadcast quality and viewer experience that made the day unforgettable. NBS Sport deployed a crew of over 40 professionals, utilizing state-of-the-art OB vans, multi-angle camera setups, and real-time match graphics. Each moment was captured with precision—from high-intensity tackles to emotional crowd reactions.
At the heart of the experience was a strong digital push. NBS Sport’s digital team was heavily deployed around the stadium and fan zones, producing behind-the-scenes content, instant highlights, and fan interactions across social media and AfroMobile. This digital-first approach grew online engagement, extended reach, and brought fans closer to the action.
“NBS Sport is not just showing games. We are building experiences and telling Africa’s sports stories with the pride and production quality they deserve,” said Victor Akatwijuka, Brand Manager, NBS Sport. “What you saw on Day Two at Namboole is a reflection of the future of African sports broadcasting—dynamic, immersive, and deeply connected to both the fans and the athletes.”
This year’s Rugby Africa Cup coverage reflects NBS Sport’s broader ambition: to redefine how African sport is documented, presented, and consumed. Whether through live TV, digital platforms, radio, or on-ground activation, NBS Sport is committed to giving Africa’s sports heroes the stage they deserve.
