ITV World Cup presenter and pundit line-up in full including Roy Keane and Gary Neville

 


Gary Neville and Roy Keane will be the headline pundits for ITV for the broadcaster's coverage of the World Cup in Qatar this winter.

Neville and Keane will join Ian Wright, Karen Carney, Graeme Sounnes, Joe Cole, Eni Aluko, Nigel de Jong, Nadia Nadim and Hal Robson-Kanu in the ITV studios to give their expert insight, expertise, opinion and analysis. ITV's coverage will be helmed by presenters Mark Pougatch, Laura Woods and Seema Jaswal, with Sam Matterface, Clive Tyldesley, Jon Champion and Seb Hutchinson serving as commentators.

Peter Walton will be the broadcaster's referee analyst, with Lee Dixon, Ally McCoist, John Hartson and Andros Townsend on co-commentary. ITV's first games with be the Netherlands' clash against Senegal and England's match against the USA.

They will also have first and second pick of the Last 16 games, as well as first pick of the quarter-finals. Their coverage will continue with one of the semi-finals and the final. ITV will have a comprehensive coverage package, with content across Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

They will also broadcast daily highlights of every game to ensure fans do not miss a minute of the tournament in Qatar. As well as England's clash with the USA, ITV will also show Argentina v Mexico, France v Denmark, Spain v Costa Rica and Portugal v Uruguay.

They will have 32 live matches in total across the tournament, having attracted the biggest single channel audience, 27.5million ever for England's Euro 2020 semi-final against Denmark. The Director of sport for the broadcaster hailed the punditry team he has assembled.


“The World Cup is the biggest sporting event of the year and ITV are committed to bring viewers the very best extensive coverage of the tournament accompanied by expert punditry and analysis. We will immerse viewers into the tournament with our live coverage, highlight shows, podcasts, online and social media content, ensuring viewers do not miss a minute of the action," Niall Sloane said.

Neville will also work for the Qatari state broadcaster beIN Sport during the World Cup, a move that has seen the Manchester United legend come under fire. He has hit back at that criticism in recent weeks though, insisting he will call out Qatar for their dreadful human rights record.

"Qatar have had Amnesty International and the International Labour Organisation all over them for the last 10 years because of the World Cup. Saudi Arabia have come into our country to own Newcastle and they've got terrible human rights issues over there and people work for them in this country," he told the Daily Mail.

"We either decide that we collaborate with these countries, and try and impact change through football - which is what I think we should always do - or we say we're never going to let them play sport, we're never going to have a World Cup there, we're never going to allow them to compete against us because they don't have what would be as progressive rights as they should have.

"When I highlight these issues, I can do so from a position whereby if I am covering eight games on beIN in a World Cup, and those issues come up or there's an incident outside the stadium, I will highlight them. I will never shy away from it."

Neville already works with Keane on Sky Sports, while Wright is a staple of the BBC's flagship football show Match of the Day.

SUNDERLAND SHOULD LOOK TO STRIKE PERMANENT TRANSFER AGREEMENT WITH EVERTON IN JANUARY: OPINION

SEARC SHARE TWEET BeyondWords Sunderland have been struggling without a recognised striker since mid-September, but head coach Tony Mowbray was bolstered last weekend with the return of Ellis Simms from injury. The Black Cats suffered two doses of cruel misfortune two months ago – firstly with talisman Ross Stewart pulling up in the warm-up before facing Middlesbrough with a quad injury, and then just a over a week later it was Simms’ turn to be struck down. The toe injury that Simms suffered was only supposed to keep him out for a few weeks, but it ended up being much longer than that – over six weeks of action was missed and in that time, Sunderland won just one league match and started to slide down the table as a result.

NFF unfair to Nigeria’s first ‘Centurion’ Mmadu

  Former   Super Falcons stars Stella Mbachu and Chioma Ajunwa have expressed their displeasure over the continued exclusion of their fellow ex-international Maureen Mmadu from the honours list by the relevant authorities in the country. On September 11, 2007, Mmadu became the first Nigerian, male or female, to hit the 100-game milestone for the country, when she featured for the Falcons against Sweden at the Women’s World Cup in China. The match ended 1-1. In the process, Mmadu also became the first African woman to play 100 international games. But since then, the feat hasn’t received the deserved recognition, while three Super Eagles players Vincent Enyeama, Joseph Yobo and Ahmed Musa, who also hit the century of caps years later, were honoured. Last year, the Nigeria Football Federation gifted Musa N10m after the Super Eagles captain played his 100th Nigeria game in the Eagles’ 2-1 win over Cape Verde during the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. “The NFF will give Ahmed Musa N10m for reac
