Indonesia – FIFA has launched an invitation to tender (ITT) in Indonesia for the media rights to four of its upcoming World Cup tournaments as the country continues to show promising performance in the qualification processes.
The tender process will cover rights to FIFA World Cup 26, FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027, FIFA World Cup 2030, and FIFA Women’s World Cup 2031.
Through the sale of media rights for its football tournaments, FIFA generates income, which is essential to supporting and developing football around the world, including through the FIFA Forward Development Programme.
The ITT comes as football in Indonesia continues to grow rapidly, following impressive national team performances. Currently, Indonesia is performing well in the AFC qualification process for FIFA World Cup 26, with the men’s national team having their best performance so far since 1938.
Indonesia’s national women’s team is also making progress, having recently competed in its first AFC Women’s Asian Cup in 33 years.
The FIFA World Cup 26 will be the 23rd edition of the competition and will be jointly hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States. With a record 48 teams, 16 host cities, and three host countries, the tournament will feature a staggering 104 matches, uniting the globe through football in June and July 2026.
In an official blog post, FIFA said, “The tender process for the media rights to these tournaments will allow FIFA to select the entity, or entities, best placed to secure the required transmission and programming commitments to achieve FIFA’s objective of reaching the widest possible audience whilst providing a high-quality viewing experience for fans.”
