As a prelude to the next FIFA World Cup that will take place in 2022, in Qatar, the African Union of Broadcasting (www.uar-AUB.org<\/a> ) has been handed the Free-To-Air rights for the Qualifying matches in 17 Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, thus making AUB the exclusive Partner for the commercialization of the rights in the following countries:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Guinea, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Senegal, Zambia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In previous months, FIFA (www.FIFA.com<\/a>) launched an Invitation to Tender for the Commercialization of the terrestrial free-to-air rights in the Sub-Saharan Africa Region.<\/p>\n

The Tender process revealed that AUB was the winner of the rights in some 17 countries ready to broadcast the event for the good of football fans.<\/p>\n

The 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification process is a series of tournaments organized by the six FIFA Confederations to decide 31 of the 32 teams that will play the FIFA World Cup, with Qatar qualifying automatically as host. <\/p>\n

Qualifiers process opened in 2019 but suffered numerous postponements due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.<\/p>\n

At the end of the qualification process, five African Nations will represent the continent in the 2022 FIFA World Cup Tournament.<\/p>\n
