FIFA, Al-Jazeera strike World Cup broadcast deal Al-Jazeera now holds broadcasting rights for the 2014, 2018 and 2022 World Cups, and is set to provide services across Middle East and North Africa
FIFA says Qatar-based broadcaster Al-Jazeera has bought the rights to show the World Cup in 2018 and 2022 across the Middle East and North Africa. It is the first broadcast rights deal struck for the two tournaments by FIFA since it chose Russia to host the 2018 World Cup and awarded the 2022 edition to Qatar last month. The deal covers all media platforms in 23 territories and countries, including Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Morocco and Palestine. The value was not disclosed. Al-Jazeera previously bought rights to screen the 2014 World Cup being played in Brazil.
