David Neal is about to call it quits at FOX. The Executive Producer, FIFA World Cup & VP of Production will make the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup his final event for the network.
Neal spent thirty years at NBC Sports. There, he produced nine Olympics, four NBA Finals and two World Series. He left for FOX in 2012.
Since joining FOX, David Neal has overseen the production of five World Cups.
“David Neal will forever be irreplaceable as one of the most prolific and accomplished sports producers of his generation,” FOX Sports CEO Eric Shanks said in a statement to the media. “Since the day he joined FOX Sports in 2012, David has worn the captain’s armband as our trusted leader across five FIFA World Cup tournaments, and I know I speak for our entire team when I say he will be greatly missed. David’s legacy will continue long after the final whistle in Sydney this summer. He’s been a friend and teammate to so many at FOX Sports and we wish him the very best as he embarks on his next chapter.”
