The question has been bothering football fans for several days: where in France will we be able to follow the next Arab Cup, scheduled for December 1st to 18th? Highly anticipated, contested in Qatar in a setting familiar to the European public, the competition was still looking for its television partner in France. This vagueness, maintained until the home straight, left doubt surrounding a tournament that was nevertheless very popular during its previous edition, won by Algeria.
A suspense lifted: beIN Sports wins
The veil is now lifted: it is beIN Sports which will broadcast the entire FIFA Arab Cup 2025. The Qatari group has formalized the agreement and will offer all the matches of the major teams in the Arab world, including Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Qatar. For French viewers, the offer is clear: every match, from the first kick-off to the final on December 18, will be accessible live. This edition promises to be very lively, with several potential North African derbies and a guaranteed atmosphere in the Qatari stadiums, already experienced since the organization of the 2022 World Cup.
The choice of broadcaster ultimately comes as little surprise. beIN Sports, already a historic partner of international football, is even achieving a rare double this year: it will follow the Arab Cup with the 2025 African Cup of Nations, broadcast in full from December 21 to January 18. For subscribers, this end of the year clearly looks like an XXL football marathon.
A competition that is gaining momentum
The 2021 edition confirmed public interest. Algeria, crowned at the end of a memorable journey, offered a high-level tournament despite the absence of the biggest stars playing in Europe. This year again, several familiar names will be there: Slimani, Atal, Benzia, but also ambitious selections like Egypt or Morocco. The event will attract considerable attention, boosted by the proximity of the holidays, a tight calendar and the prospect of a month entirely devoted to Arab and African football.
Between full stadiums, regional rivalries and total broadcasting in France, the 2025 edition promises to be an unmissable event. beIN Sports, which had until now left doubt, now finds itself at the center of a rich, varied and very lively end of the year for enthusiasts. The Arab Cup gets the ball rolling: the show can begin.
