BN Sports will broadcast 22 unencrypted matches across the Middle East and North Africa during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar starting on Sunday, a spokesman for the media group told AFP on Friday.
“We will be broadcasting 22 matches live, including the first Sunday between Qatar and Ecuador,” a spokesman for the Qatari group, which owns exclusive rights to the World Cup in the Middle East and North Africa, said two days before the start of the broadcast. The first World Cup in an Arab country.
Four Arab countries are taking part in the 2022 World Cup: Qatar, Morocco, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia.
Thus, 22 out of 64 matches, or about a third of the matches, will be broadcast on the unencrypted sports channel of the Qatari group, while the rest of the matches will be broadcast on encrypted channels.
The network announced a similar move in its 2018 edition, which took place in Russia.
