On Tuesday, FOX Sports revealed its star-studded broadcast team for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, featuring established industry stars as well as a few new faces with impressive on-field resumes.
Play-by-play veterans John Strong, JP Dellacamera, Derek Rae and Jacqui Oatley will be joined in the broadcast booth by game analysts Stu Holden, Cobi Jones, Landon Donovan, Aly Wagner and Warren Barton. Holden, Jones, Donovan and Wagner previously played on the World Cup stage for US Soccer, while Barton played for the England men’s national team.
Here’s how they’ll all match up on match days:
Darke famously called Donovan’s winning goal against Algeria in the 2010 World Cup, and all five broadcast teams will call the games live from Doha.
In studio, hosts Kate Abdo and Rob Stone will break down each game with rotating analysts, including Alexi Lalas, Carli Lloyd, Chad Johnson, Clint Dempsey, Eni Aluko, Kelly Smith and Maurice Edu. They are supported by reporters Jenny Taft, Rodolfo Landeros and Geoff Shreeves, as well as feature reporter Tom Rinaldi and rules analysts Dr. Joe Machnik and Mark Clattenburg.
Darke, Oatley, Rinaldi, Clattenburg, Dempsey, Lloyd, Donovan and Johnson will make their debut as broadcasters for the FOX Sports World Cup in Qatar. Dempsey and Donovan were teammates at the 2010 World Cup.
The 2022 World Cup will begin on November 20 with the broadcast of the opening match between Qatar and Ecuador on FOX Networks, FOXSports.com and the FOX Sports app.
