Starting June 12, Tamaș and Alexa can be seen live on AntenaPLAY in a new original format, Fiertzi pe Mondial, featuring analysis, commentary, and reactions to the FIFA World Cup’s biggest moments
As part of the most extensive editorial project ever dedicated to a FIFA World Cup in Romania, Antena is launching Fiertzi pe Mondial on June 12, a new original entertainment and sports analysis format. Beginning on June 12, immediately after the start of the world's most anticipated sporting event, the FIFA World Cup, Tamaș and Alexa, alongside Răzvan, Dani, Rizea, and Ristei, will bring viewers on AntenaPLAY all the key moments from the previous 24 hours: the most spectacular match highlights, goals, controversies, immediate reactions, and more, in a format that combines football analysis, humor, and authentic conversation.
For the first time in history, the tournament brings together 48 national teams, 104 matches, and three host countries—the United States, Canada, and Mexico-in a global sporting spectacle watched by billions around the world. Fiertzi pe Mondial aims to offer audiences a dynamic perspective on the competition, combining the sporting expertise of former Romanian internationals Gabi Tamaș and Dan Alexa with the entertainment provided by the popular morning-show team of Răzvan Simion, Dani Oțil, Cătălin Rizea, and Florin Ristei.
The most spectacular moments from the previous 24 hours of matches, outstanding individual and team performances, internationally debated incidents, and the atmosphere surrounding the world's most important football event will all be featured in every live edition of Fiertzi pe Mondial on AntenaPLAY.
“Starting June 12, we're live on AntenaPLAY. Together we'll go through everything that mattered over the past 24 hours: goals, key moments, controversies, supporters, the madness in the stands, and the matches coming up on Antena and AntenaPLAY. I'm truly excited to be part of this project because the FIFA World Cup is the ultimate competition in football. And I'm especially happy to have my little doll by my side,” says Dan Alexa.
Gabi Tamaș adds: “It's also a pleasure for me to be part of this project during the most anticipated competition in the world. Every footballer dreams of reaching the World Cup. I dreamed of it too, but never got there. Instead, I've made it to Fiertzi pe Mondial! I'm looking forward to great football and plenty of surprises at this World Cup, and on Fiertzi pe Mondial we'll bring a different kind of commentary, because people also want to hear what goes on behind the scenes of this sport.”
The hosts of Fiertzi pe Mondial share their thoughts as well:
“Many of the stories of a World Cup are not written on the pitch. They come to life in supporters' camps, in the less visible details filled with emotion. I can't wait to discover the stories of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Fiertzi pe Mondial.” - Răzvan Simion
“At the World Cup, the show starts long before the opening whistle and continues well after the final goal. I'm delighted to be part of the Fiertzi pe Mondial adventure and can't wait to show viewers the stories, characters, and emotions that turn this competition into a global phenomenon.” - Dani Oțil
“The World Cup is about performance, but also about the emotions that bring people together. Fiertzi pe Mondial will capture exactly that energy: the stories behind the competition, the atmosphere around the stadiums, and the people who make the FIFA World Cup 2026™ such a unique event. I can't wait for this journey to begin.” - Cătălin Rizea
“At a World Cup, it's not only the goals that are spectacular. Sometimes the best stories happen off the pitch: among the fans, in the host cities, or in those fleeting moments the cameras capture for just a second. On Fiertzi pe Mondial, I can't wait for us to discover together everything that makes the 2026 World Cup such a special spectacle.” - Florin Ristei
Fiertzi pe Mondial is part of Antena’s strategy to deliver a complete FIFA World Cup 2026™ viewing experience, going beyond traditional sports broadcasting and creating a dedicated content ecosystem throughout the tournament.
The launch of this new format comes as Antena exclusively broadcasts FIFA World Cup 2026™, the edition that enters history as the largest World Cup ever organized, featuring 48 participating teams, 104 matches, and three host nations: the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In addition to broadcasting all 104 matches live, the Antena Universe will offer audiences hundreds of hours of original content, dedicated studio shows, on-site reports, analysis, highlights, and special productions created by teams deployed across North America to cover the event directly from the heart of the action.
FIFA World Cup 2026™. Feel It. Live It. Vibrate with the World Cup.
Starting June 11, Everyone to Antena!
