Media
The World Cup Organization, through several companies, sold the broadcasting rights for the 2023 World Cup to various local broadcasters. After having tested the technology at limited matches of the 2020 Heimdahl'ia World Cup (via private tests and public viewings in the host city of Heimdahl'ia), the 2023 World Cup is the second World Cup in which all matches were produced in 4K ultra high definition (the previous 2022 Dabatta World Cup being the first). The WCO stated that at least 75% of the broadcast cut of each match would come from 4K cameras (covering the majority of main angles), with instant replays and some camera angles being converted up from 1080p high definition sources with limited degradation in quality. These broadcasts were made available from selected rightsholders and television providers.
Within Besmenia, the public broadcaster BRF received the local broadcasting rights, which will broadcast the games on BRF SPORT. The following are international broadcasting rights:
