London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/16/2022 -- The Men's World Cup currently taking place in Qatar has been forecast to attract huge audiences. Despite some well-publicised challenges and controversies, the tournament is now well underway. As it progresses over the month-long competition, it's a great opportunity for fans to get behind supporting a whole range of different teams. Coverage of events like this is always key and also very competitive. It's also historically incredibly male-dominated, with former US women's football team player Aly Wagner making broadcast history when she became the first woman to call a FIFA men's world game on TV in 2018. In the four years since then much has changed, so much so that this year Fox's broadcasting team features Aly Wagner, alongside Jenny Taft, Kate Abdo and Eniola Aluko.
The Fox's women broadcasting team marks significant progress, especially at such a pivotal and visible global event like the Men's World Cup. And also, in a country like Qatar where women's rights are questionable and there are not many visible women. Many people love the World Cup as a competition because there is such a complete sense of uncertainty in terms of what will happen - always expect the unexpected. And also because of the volume of games and the fact that you could potentially watch every game in a day if you wanted to. The diversity of teams can provide some very entertaining watching, and the unpredictable nature of the results adds to the excitement. For women looking to work on broadcasting like this, whether that is a commentator job or production manager job, there are many opportunities available. Hopefully, the example being set by the Fox women broadcasting team will mean that other broadcasters follow suit.
