FIFA media rights officials visit India where no World Cup broadcast deal is yet signed

DELHI, – FIFA media rights officials are visiting India this week, three sources said, ahead of next month’s World Cup for which ‌football’s ruling body ⁠has ⁠not struck a broadcast deal with India due to differences over pricing.

Millions of football fans ​in India risk not being able to watch the tournament due to a deadlock over broadcast ​rights. China Media Group, the parent of China’s state broadcaster, agreed a World Cup broadcasting deal last week to end a standoff over TV rights there.
