Emirates announced that passengers will be able to watch all FIFA World Cup 2022 matches onboard through the inflight entertainment system, the final World Cup match which is set to take place on December 18 will also be available to watch during travel.
“Imagine tuning in to cheer on your favourite team while cruising at 40,000ft, or being able to stay informed about what’s happening on the ground while you’re in the air. All of this and more is possible with ice TV Live,” says the inflight entertainment system section of the website.
The matches will also be aired live in the A380 onboard lounges and dedicated Emirates airport lounges.
ice was recently awarded ‘Passenger Choice Award for Best Global Entertainment’ at APEX 2023 and for the 17th consecutive time, ‘World’s Best Inflight Entertainment’ at Skytrax 2022.
Last week, it was revealed that the Qatar World Cup is on course to generate record revenue for its organiser FIFA, insiders say. The one-month tournament, which begins on November 20, is on course to top the roughly $5.4bn in revenue that the 2018 World Cup in Russia generated for football’s governing body, a person familiar with the matter said, asking not to be identified discussing confidential information.
