UAE warns venues against screening World Cup games without licence

UAE authorities have issued warnings to businesses regarding the screening of FIFA World Cup 2026 matches without proper licensing from official broadcasters. The Ministry of Economy and Tourism emphasized that unauthorized screenings could result in financial penalties or legal action. This comes as Egypt and Morocco represent Arab nations in the tournament, with Morocco set to face France in the quarter-finals. The World Cup, hosted across the United States, Mexico, and Canada, is the largest in history, featuring 48 teams and 104 matches over five weeks. Many authorized venues have extended their operating hours to accommodate late match schedules.
