04/06/2018 Argaam

 

UAE telecoms provider du has signed a deal with Qatar’s beIN Sports to live telecast the 2018 Fifa World Cup, it said on Monday.

 

"We are delighted to offer this incredible event to our valued customers and add life to life by screening all 64 football matches across our dedicated beIN SPORTS channels. We continue to offer complete transparency of service for our customers, here enabling them to enjoy the biggest showpiece in the football calendar," Fahad Al Hassawi, deputy chief executive officer, telco services, EITC, said.

 

On Sunday, beIN Sports said "its contract with du will not be renewed" after its channels went off-air on du networks during the weekend, leaving scores of football fans in the UAE in limbo.

 

The four-week 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia kicks off on June 14, with the inaugural match between Russia and Saudi Arabia.
