This was followed by a brief interview by Joe Schramm from Schramm Marketing Group, organizers of the summit, with Enrique Pérez, President of EP Media Group, who talked about the unique qualities of the 2022 event, such as that this is the first World Cup. which takes place in November and December and the fact that Qatar is within the same time zone. They highlighted that the players will be “fresh” since they do not need to travel for hours to play in the different places since almost all are within a one-hour drive from their hotels.
The final segment of this super session was a panel on Telemundo’s plans for the Spanish-language broadcast of the World Cup. It was moderated by Felipe Cárdenas, editor of The Athletic, and featured Ray Warren, president of Telemundo Deportes; Eli Velásquez, EVP of Sports Content at NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises, and Andrés Cantor, sportscaster and the voice of the World Cup of Telemundo.

“Russia’s logistics compared to Qatar was very difficult, and yet we did very well. I think this is going to be a Cup with a more intimate experience. Our team of advertisers will be able to sleep in the same hotel every night,” said Warren.
In the last World Cup, Cantor took 27 flights in a month. “These short distances are priceless for the players and the advertisers. The furthest stadium is a 27- minute drive,” said Cantor.
