Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil has reported a positive reception to the government’s plan to air the 2026 FIFA World Cup on RTM and Unifi TV. The initiative aims to alleviate financial burdens for both restaurant owners and the general public who typically face high costs associated with accessing World Cup broadcasts. By providing free access through these platforms, the government intends to broaden viewership and reduce expenses. Minister Fahmi highlighted the initiative’s success in lowering costs already. This move represents a strategic effort to make major sporting events more accessible to all Malaysians. The broadcasts are expected to continue providing economic benefits as the tournament progresses.
