Football is always enjoyable to watch even when played on suburban pitches. But when there are international teams to clash with each other, national or club, it becomes even more interesting.
The World Cup is a time of great tension, so better if the matches are shared. At the next soccer world cup Mancini’s Italy will be missing, for the second consecutive edition, but it will still be exciting to watch the competition on TV. Let’s see together how and where to follow the matches of the Italian teams in the European cups.
Where to watch the World Cup on TV and streaming
Although Italy is one of the big players excluded from the Qatar 2022 World Cup, our fans want to follow the football event. In this regard, various television and other streaming tools are at the service of fans and users: RAI, which holds the rights to broadcast matches live, and live betting sites that allow Internet users, not only to do the their bet on the games that are being played in these days, but also to activate the “live TV” button and find out which clash is taking place live. Returning to the world championship, the 64 games of the most prestigious competition in the world will be broadcast on RAI in four distinct and well-divided time slots which are: 11:00, 14:00, 17:00 and 20:00. It will therefore be the national broadcaster that will tell us who will be the next soccer world champion: if Brazil, which would thus reach the sixth title, or even Germany that would reach Brazil and bypass Italy. Without forgetting France which could repeat the success of 2018. The outsiders that become more and more numerous every year are not excluded, an example among all Belgium and Croatia of the 2018 edition.
Champions, Europe and Conference League: the three club cups
If we were to ask the majority of footballers which competitions they would like to win at least once in their life, surely the first and second places in the standings would be occupied by the Champions League and World Cup, not necessarily in that order. In fact, these are and with good reason the two most prestigious events: the Champions for the clubs in Europe, and the World Cup for the national teams. Of the same magnitude could only be considered the FIFA World Cup for Club. The Champions League broadcast on television and in streaming is shared between Sky, Amazon and Mediaset. To watch the exploits of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and other teams, you need to sign up for at least two season tickets:
- One to Sky, or to Mediaset Infinity +;
- Another to Amazon Prime Video.
This is because the first two broadcasters have purchased the rights for all matches except for 16, which instead go to Jeff Bezos’ Amazon Prime Video platform.
It is easier to follow the other two European competitions. The Europa League, a tournament in which three Italian teams will start at the beginning, is broadcast entirely on DAZN, which also broadcasts the Spanish Serie A and La Liga. There Conference League is instead fully available on NOW TV in streaming, while DAZN offers the best of matches, in addition to the Italian matches, as does Sky.
The absence of Italy does not exclude that this edition of the world cup can be a good show. Seeing things from another point of view can in fact be an opportunity to enjoy the exploits of great champions without the pressure that is there when the Italian national team enters the field.
