The proximity of the Qatar 2022 World Cup stadiums provided the BBC with an opportunity to approach its presentation of the football tournament in a different manner.

Four years ago, the BBC’s coverage of Russia 2018 was anchored from a studio in Moscow, which provided a base for the broadcaster’s presenting talent. Fast forward to Qatar 2022, and because the eight stadiums being used for the World Cup were within a 35-mile radius of Doha, there wasn’t the need for a central studio as the broadcaster’s presenters and pundits were able to travel to each match. However, that presented the BBC – and ITV, with which the BBC shares coverage of the World Cup – with another set of challenges.
