Talk of broadcast deal could not be made

The upcoming FIFA World Cup is to be jointly hosted by America, Canada and Mexico. Due to the difference in time zones, most of the matches in India will be broadcast late at night and early in the morning, due to which many broadcasters were not very excited about this deal. After the deal signed by FIFA with ZEEL, now crores of Indian football fans will be able to enjoy the exciting matches of the World Cup.

Punit Goenka, CEO of ZEEL, said, ‘We are very excited to bring one of the world’s biggest sporting tournaments to Indian audiences. Our decision to purchase FIFA’s media rights and launch a new sports channel shows that we have complete confidence in the future of football in India.’
