The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar will be broadcasted on both Dstv and Gotv from November to December, MultChoice Uganda announced on Wednesday at a press engagement held at the Motiv Studios.
Speaking at the launch of the “It’s All Here” campaign, Lois Aber Kwikiriza, the Head of Marketing at MultiChoice Uganda, announced that MultiChoice Uganda, through its pay TVs will offer customers front-row seats to the 2022 World Cup games.
“As MultiChoice, we pride ourselves on knowing that we are the official broadcasters of the 2022 World Cup, and the best stadium second to those in Qatar showing all 64 games of the World Cup tournament. I, therefore, would like to encourage our customers to purchase any of our DStv or GOtv bouquets so that no one is left behind in the fun. “
In addition to the number of games that will be broadcasted, customers will have a chance to win an assortment of gifts ranging from an all-expense paid trip to Qatar to watch the games, play stations, and football playing kits, to mention but a few.
“Research conducted by FIFA showed that the 2018 World Cup was viewed by over 3.57 billion people, close to half of the global population. This shows how much the tournament speaks to the entire household, regardless of age. Despite the fact that Uganda did not qualify to play in the World Cup, I know we are unified in our routing for our brothers in countries like Ghana and Senegal, to mention but a few. Additionally, statistics show us that this is sporting action enjoyed by everyone – and it is for these reasons that we are excited to be your TV partner of choice” said Joan Semanda Kizza, the PR and Communications Manager at MultiChoice Uganda.
She added that it is for this reason that closer to the World Cup, MultiChoice Uganda will be selling both DStv and GOtv decoders at a special price to make it easier for customers who would like to catch all 64 games.
The 2022 Global Showpiece will take place in Qatar from November 21 to December 18. The tournament will see 32 teams compete in eight groups.
Present at the MultiChoice Uganda World Cup launch was Coca-Cola Uganda, which will be partnering with Pay TV to carry the action around Uganda and close to you if you are away from Kampala.
