Nigerians were left disappointed after Digital Satelite Television (DSTV) opted against airing UEFA Europa League matches on Thursday.
The South African company took to Twitter to inform their subscribers.

The Europa is Europe’s second most prestigious club competition after the Champions League.
Some of the continents top sides like Arsenal, Chelsea, Marseille and Sevilla are involved in this competition.
To the surprise of Nigerian football enthusiasts, mostly Arsenal and Chelsea fans, the games weren’t televised.
Here’s what few had to say on Twitter.
Hello, please be informed that UEFA Europa league will not be aired on Dstv. Thank you for your understanding. Aminat084.
