Issam Chaouali confirms four more years behind the beIN SPORTS microphone

Tunisian football commentator Issam Chaouali has renewed his contract with beIN SPORTS for a further four years, extending his association with the Qatari network and ensuring that one of the Arab world’s best-known football voices will continue covering major international competitions.

Chaouali announced the agreement through his official Facebook account, describing the new deal as a renewed challenge with the broadcaster he considers his professional home.

“A new contract and a renewed challenge, four more years in my home and among my audience, four years of the strongest competitions. Thank you to the management of beIN media channels, and what is coming will be better, God willing,” he wrote.

The announcement was met with a strong response from supporters, who welcomed the decision to extend his contract and praised his continued presence on the network.

The renewal means Chaouali will remain involved in coverage of some of the biggest events in world football. His work has included the FIFA World Cup, the UEFA Champions League and the leading European domestic leagues, competitions that have helped establish his reputation across the region.

Chaouali is regarded as one of the most prominent sports commentators in the Arab world over the past two decades. His popularity has been built around a distinctive style that combines excitement with a strong command of language, as well as references to poetry and literary quotations.

That approach has given him a particular place among football supporters, who have followed his commentary during some of the sport’s most important matches.

He began his media career in Tunisia before moving to Al Jazeera Sport. The broadcaster later became beIN SPORTS, where Chaouali developed into one of the network’s most recognisable figures through his work on major matches and continental and global finals.

During his career, he has commentated on dozens of historic fixtures at the FIFA World Cup, the UEFA European Championship, the UEFA Champions League and the Africa Cup of Nations. He has also covered a large number of high-profile matches in Europe’s major leagues.

Those broadcasts have reinforced his status as one of the region’s most influential and popular commentators. His four-year extension will allow him to continue that work for beIN SPORTS, maintaining his connection with the network and the audience that has followed him throughout his career.
