Prasar Bharati emerges as option for FIFA World Cup 2026 rights in India

I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.
With less than three months until the FIFA World Cup 2026, India lacks an official broadcaster. Prasar Bharati is emerging as a potential buyer after preliminary discussions with FIFA, as private companies hesitate due to valuation concerns. FIFA has reduced its asking price from nearly $100 million to around $35 million for both the 2026 and 2030 tournaments, but no agreement has been reached. JioStar is still seen as a frontrunner, although industry experts believe a resolution will depend on price alignment between FIFA and broadcasters.
