“The “Copa América,” one of the oldest and most hotly contested tournaments in the world, will be broadcast from host country Venezuela live and in Spanish exclusively on the Univision and TeleFutura Television Networks from June 26 through July 15, 2007.
Predating even the World Cup, “Copa América” is staged by CONMEBOL, the regional soccer federation that governs South America, and is the one tournament that U.S. Hispanic soccer fans of every national background are anxiously awaiting. The tournament will feature 26 matches (9 on Univision and 17 on TeleFutura) and will be telecast live in primetime or late weekend afternoon time periods. (Full broadcast schedule below.) These exciting match-ups feature all 10 South American teams, plus Mexico and the U.S.
Adding to the already heightened excitement, legendary soccer superstar Diego Maradona is scheduled to provide the opening “kick-off” to this highly anticipated event that in 2004 resulted in record ratings on both Univision and TeleFutura. This year’s tournament will also feature 14-time champion Argentina, 7-time champion Brazil (winner of the most recent tournament in 2004), and the 2001 champion Colombia along with fan favorites Mexico and the U.S.
“There is no fÚtbol event in the world better suited to ignite the passion of Univision’s audience than “Copa América,’ where every team has a huge Hispanic following in the United States and every match is televised live in the most popular sports viewing time periods,” said David Downs, President of Univision Sports. “I have no doubt we will see a tournament every bit as dramatic as the last, where the final came down to a penalty shootout between the two South American giants of soccer, Brazil and Argentina.”
Univision and TeleFutura’s “Copa América” coverage will feature the expert commentary and analysis of television’s most highly respected soccer sportscasting team of Pablo Ramírez, JesÚs Bracamontes, Jorge Pérez-Navarro and Diego Balado, along with additional commentary from “RepÚblica Deportiva” host Fernando Fiore during pre-game, halftime, and post-game.
