beIN SPORTS, as the official broadcaster of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ and a proud advocate for creating an inclusive and accessible football tournament for all, is delighted that its broadcast coverage is being made available inside more than 20 special fan zones catering to thousands of refugees and displaced people across western Asia and North Africa.

Two separate initiatives running in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) – namely the “Qatar 2022 For All” initiative and a separate programme of events by the Qatar Committee for the Reconstruction of Gaza – are helping ensure this month’s historic World Cup™ is available to as many people in the region as possible.

“Qatar 2022 For All” is a humanitarian initiative led by the Qatar Red Crescent Society and Qatar Charity, in partnership with the Qatar Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and supported by the Qatar Fund for Development, beIN SPORTS, and the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy. It involves the creation of dedicated fan zones across a range of countries, including Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Sudan, and Yemen.
