Etihad will screen all the football matches live for football fans flying with the airline during FIFA World Cup 2022. The fans can watch the matches onboard on Etihad’s E-BOX entertainment channels Sport 24 and Sport 24 Extra. The live TV service is available onboard the airline’s fleet of wide-body aircraft connecting destinations in Europe, North America, Australia, Asia, and Africa with its hub in Abu Dhabi.
Etihad has also increased the flight capacity to Qatar with six daily flights between Abu Dhabi and Doha until December 18, 2022.
Terry Daly, Executive Director of Guest Experience, Brand and Marketing, Etihad Airways said: “Showing live football matches is an extension of Etihad’s extensive live tv programming and inflight entertainment. Many football fans from across the world will be flying to the region for the first time, and we look forward to extending our renowned Arabian hospitality to these guests.”
Besides football, Etihad’s guests can also stream other international sporting events such as the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the National Football League (NFL). Etihad’s E-BOX also features live global news channels and the latest movies from Hollywood, Bollywood, and more.
