The men’s soccer World Cup begins in Qatar in November. There are also many German commentators for ARD and ZDF. And ARD also has a woman on the team.
At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, a woman will comment on a World Cup game on ARD for the first time. This was announced by the SWR. TV reporter Christina Graf was awarded the contract. And the 36-year-old is not an inexperienced journalist, having worked for Sky as a reporter and commentator for around five years. She has been working for WDR since 2017 and for SWR since 2018.
Claudia Neumann had commented on World Cup games for ZDF in the past.
It has not yet been decided which games Graf will comment on. However, it is clear who will be involved in the World Cup final: Tom Bartels will comment on the final, as he did in 2014.
