Public Service Media (PSM) and MediaNet have signed an agreement to broadcast the FIFA World Cup to local audience.
The agreement was signed by senior officials from both organisations at a ceremony held at PSM. Medianet was represented by its Residential Sales Hussain Samaan, while Executive Director of Commercial and Corporate, Mohamed Saeed signed on behalf of PSM.
Under the agreement, all World Cup matches will be available free of charge on PSM’s designated channels via MediaNet’s network. Viewers can watch matches on MediaNet’s cable, TV, and mobile app without an active subscription. PSM will also produce special programmes, including pre-show, analysis, and match-related content.
Since the 1986 World Cup, the Maldivian government has facilitated access to the tournament, promoting unity, entertainment, and public enjoyment. This year’s initiative is heavily supported by the government and aligns with PSM’s role to provide public access to major events.
