With the World Cup exactly 7 days away, Safaricom has today launched data bundles, dubbed Giga Football Passes, to enable customers to stream all the World Cup matches on Kwesé iflix on-the-go on their smartphones.
With these #GigaFootball passes, customers can stream any of the 64 matches of the 2018 FIFA World Cup live games on Kwesé iflix at KES 99 for 24 hours, any time and any where, inclusive of all data charges.
Customers will also have the option to stream any of the matches to their TVs through the Kwesé iflix app on the Safaricom BigBox and Digital Box.
Coming at a time when the matches the matches will be streaming from 1:00, 3:00, 6:00, 7:00 and 9:00 p.m, the Giga Football Passes are a God send especially since most Kenyans will either be in the office or stuck in traffic at rush hour.
