A Tough Road But Ends Well For Indian Football Fans

Despite this massive interest and popularity of the sport, FIFA initially struggled to secure a media rights deal for the Indian market. While many considered FIFA's asking price too high on initial estimation, it was Zee Entertainment who stepped up and got a deal done.

The situation was so tense that the FIFA officials even visited India to hold talks with the potential partners. They were close to missing out on one of their markets, but managed to find an agreement with Zee Entertainment Enterprises.

After securing the rights, Zee announced a new plan for their streaming platform, Zee5, which includes access to all the content along with the 2026 FIFA World Cup for three months at just Rs 799. Zee Entertainment also introduced brand new sports channels named Unite8 Sports 1 and Unite8 Sports 2 for the live broadcast.
