“DSTV and Got are the best stadiums in Sport, because wherever you are – whether your home, office, or a local pub- We bring you the biggest games, in the best quality, at the price points that suit your pocket. And it’s not just soccer-its WWE, Formula 1, Athletics, Tennis, golf, and Rugby. The list is endless,” she added.
2010 World Cup Commentator Matimba Nkonje on his set discussed the upcoming global showpiece in detail including the Saudi Arabia link as the team is coached by former Chipolopolo boss Herve Renard.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to be the 22nd running of the FIFA World Cup competition, the quadrennial international men’s football championship contested by the senior national teams of the member associations of FIFA.
It is scheduled to take place in Qatar from 20 November to 18 December 2022. This will be the first World Cup ever to be held in the Arab world, and the second World Cup held entirely in Asia after the 2002 tournament in South Korea and Japan.
In addition, the tournament will be the last to involve 32 teams, with an increase to 48 teams scheduled for the 2026 tournament in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Due to Qatar’s intense summer heat, this World Cup will be held from late November to mid-December, making it the first tournament not to be held in May, June, or July and to take place in the northern winter.
Meanwhile, MultiChoice customers can look forward to round-the-clock access to all 64 of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 matches.
