World Cup, no final for Adani: why Rai chose so

The telecast of the last act of Qatar 2022 was entrusted to the pair Rimedio-Di Gennaro

Rai has assigned the commentators for the highly anticipated final of the World Cup between Argentina and France, scheduled for Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. Commenting on the match will be the pair formed by Alberto Rimedio and Antonio Di Gennaro, i.e., the duo that also follows the national team’s matches. Stefano Bizzotto and Lele Adani will instead follow Saturday’s final between Morocco and Croatia, also scheduled at 4 p.m.

There is discussion on social media about Rai’s decision to exclude Adani, who will therefore not be able to comment on Messi’s last match at the World Cup, after his comments on the Pulce during the albiceleste’s matches had divided the public in recent weeks. But controversy had nothing to do with it: the public channel simply respected the hierarchies, which had already been decided before the start of the World Cup. Adani will still be in the studio along with Claudio Marchisio and will be present both in the pre-match and post-match.
