Copa America English-language rights @ GOL TV.

GolTV announced that it has secured the exclusive English Language broadcast rights to televise the 26 matches of The Copa America LIVE in their entirety for the U.S.fan and English dominant Hispanics.

The exclusive rights to broadcast live in English were acquired from Traffic Sports Marketing, one of the top sports marketing groups in the world, and are considered another coup for this pioneer soccer Network who has scored many firsts when it comes to televised soccer. This will be the first and only opportunity for fans to catch the games live in their entirety for years, as the cup will only come around again in 2011.

“We have always looked to be trail blazers at GolTV. This is the first time ever that this world class tournament is broadcast live in English and GolTV is proud to bring this home to the millions of fans in the U.S. who will now have a chance to watch it in English, what is considered to be among the three top internationally followed and watched Soccer Cups around the world (preceded only by the World Cup and the UEFA European Championship) and actually the oldest of its kind (initiated in 1916),” said Rodrigo Lombello, COO GolTV.

Beginning June 26, 2007 and running through July 16, 2007 GolTV will be the place to be to catch the action, via live matches and more. The in-depth coverage will not only feature all 26 live matches, but also news and highlights throughout its proprietary and highly followed shows such as American Soccer, which will shadow the U.S. performance, and other premium shows such as GolTV news that will provide rich in-depth analysis and commentary of what has occurred or is expected to occur on the field of play.

The games to be played at different venues throughout Venezuela feature play by the following national teams as they vie for the title: The United
States, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Venezuela, Peru, and Uruguay.
