ENG Crews

---

The backbone of the non-live coverage of the FIFA World Cup™ are the Electronic News Gathering Crews (ENG Crews); their role is to gather footage in the host country relating to the participating teams, the host country and the fans. These roaming crews are each made up of a producer, a camera operator, and a driver/interpreter.

The following ENG crews are deployed for the competition:

32 FIFA TV Team Crews (FTTCs), one each associated with a Participating Member Association (PMA); they follow the teams on Match Day -1 (MD-1) and Match Day, capturing training sessions, press opportunities and team experiences in the host country.

8 FIFA TV Story Crews (FTSCs) travel in the host country to film various elements that can be added to the post-produced features, as well as story features such as host country and fan portraits.

Additional ENG Crews are assigned to capture player profiles, promos, team features etc.
