Fox Sports en Espanol to telecast the FIFA Club World Cup 2007.

The much anticipated FIFA Club World Cup returns to Fox Sports en Espanol for the third consecutive year. In-game announcing duties for the network’s live and exclusive Spanish-language coverage of the 2007 edition of the year-end international club soccer championship will be shared by Raul Orvananos, Fernando Niembro, Santiago Puente, and Mariano Closs.

The FIFA Club World Cup 2007 will be played December 7-16 in Japan by representatives of each of FIFA’s six confederations and will crown the world’s best club team. Participating in this year’s tournament are the winners of the CONCACAF Champions’ Cup, Pachuca of Mexico; CONMEBOL Copa Toyota Libertadores champions, Boca Juniors of Argentina; OFC Champions League winners, Waitakere United of New Zealand; UEFA Champions League winners, Inter Milan of Italy; and CAF Champions League winners, Etoile Sportive du Sahel of Tunisia. While the tournament traditionally features six teams, by virtue of host Japan’s Urawa Red Diamonds’ AFC Champions League victory earlier this month, a seventh team – AFC runner up Sepahan of Iran – will also vie for the international club soccer crown.

Live in Spanish from Tokyo’s National Stadium at 5:30 a.m. ET, the FIFA Club World Cup 2007 kicks off on Fox Sports en Espanol with a playoff match between Sepahan and Waitakere United on Friday, December 7. Fox Sports en Espanol’s live coverage will also include two quarterfinal and two semifinal matches, the third place match and the final, which will take place at International Stadium Yokohama on Sunday, December 16 at 5:00 a.m. ET.
