A broadcast game

As the 2014 FIFA World Cup looms closer and excitement levels peak among fans, one question is on almost every Lebanese mind: how can one watch the games? Answers to this question circulated across social circles and media platforms, compounded by speculation on whether the national television station Tele Liban will be airing the games or not, to such an extent that many hospitality venue owners and everyday people are waiting until the last possible minute to commit to a subscription model while many home viewers are still confused as to how they can watch the World Cup. The short and simple answer is that the World Cup can be watched through beIN Sports, previously known as Al Jazeera Sports, which purchased the distribution and exclusive broadcasting rights from world football body FIFA for the MENA region in 2009. The channel also bought the rights to broadcast other sporting events such as Formula 1
