China’s CCTV secures rights for 2018 and 2022 World Cups
November 2 – FIFA have concluded a five-year TV deal with public broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV) for rights to all its events starting with the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and concluding with the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Rights also include the 2019 Women’s World Cup in France, the 2021 Confederations Cup and other tournaments, though there is doubt over the future of the Confederations Cup which may be sacrificed to make way for an enlarged Club World Cup.
