MIAMI: The bilingual channel GolTV has taken on the exclusive U.S. rights for the international soccer reality series Soccer Aces.

The reality series will travel the world to look for up-and-coming soccer players who deserve a shot at the big league. A panel of soccer experts will judge the tryouts, which will be held across North and South America, as well as in China and Spain. The final crop of contestants will enter the Soccer Aces training academy in Spain for six weeks. The winner will be awarded the opportunity to try out for a professional club in Spain’s La Liga.

“Soccer Aces grants players who have always dreamed of playing in the world’s top leagues a once-in-a-lifetime chance to demonstrate their skills on the international stage in front of the world’s best players and coaches,” said Francescoli, the founder and CEO of GolTV. “As the original all-soccer TV network and the go-to multiplatform resource for U.S. soccer fans, GolTV is the prime media outlet for the first reality TV show dedicated to the discovery of the world’s next soccer idol.”
