Kapanlagi.com - The 2022 World Cup will take place in Qatar from November 21 to December 18, 2022. Elang Mahkota Teknologi (Emtek) has officially become the holder of the broadcasting rights for the quadrennial football tournament.

During the event, Emtek Group will broadcast the Qatar 2022 World Cup matches through SCTV, Indosiar, O Channel, Mentari TV, and Vidio television stations.

"This year we proudly present the FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar. The biggest sports event in 2022 opens a new chapter in history as Qatar becomes the first Middle Eastern country to host the World Cup," said Managing Director of Emtek Group, Sutanto Hartono in a virtual press conference on Tuesday (15/3).

1. Focus on Piracy

"For the first time, the end of the year is also held to avoid extreme heat in Qatar. Due to the slight time difference between Qatar and Indonesia, most of the matches will fall at strategic times in Indonesia," he added.

As the holder of the broadcasting rights for the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Emtek Group is certainly very focused on piracy. Moreover, piracy itself is one of the problems that often arises during the broadcast of the World Cup.

"Dealing with piracy has become a standard that we must do. We also work together and get a lot of support from several platforms, like Google, Telegram, and others. We have also asked FIFA for extra attention to piracy," he said.
