Aiming to attract companies best placed to achieve its objectives of providing broad exposure and offering a high quality viewing experience, world football governing body FIFA has opened an invitation to tender (ITT) for the media rights in the Middle East and North Africa to the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2021.
The first-ever FIFA pan-Arab tournament, which will be hosted from 30 November until 18 December 2021 and is widely regarded as offering a glimpse into what to expect for next year’s World Cup in the country.
The schedule sees four matches per day in the group stage followed by the quarter-finals, semi-finals, play-off for third place and final, making a total of 32 games to be played over 19 days. Twenty-three national teams from the Arab world were invited to participate in the competition, with seven out of 14 advancing from the round of qualifying matches to meet hosts Qatar and the eight highest-ranked countries, who qualified directly.
