\u201cBuilding off the momentum of a historic World Cup 2022, we are proud to partner with the U.S. Soccer Federation and become the new exclusive Spanish-language home of Team USA,” said Beau Ferrari, chairman of NBCUniversal Enterprises. “The U.S. National Teams will be a cornerstone of our portfolio of premier sports franchises, multiplatform live sports offering and new IP content creation.

\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly excited to begin our partnership with Telemundo as we continue to bring the passion of our sport and National Teams to Spanish-speaking audiences,\u201d added Cindy Parlow Cone, president of the U.S. Soccer Federation. \u201cIt\u2019s a special time for soccer in the United States, and Telemundo\u2019s commitment to double-down and amplify the sports growth through their unparalleled portfolio of platforms serves as an incredible foundation of the partnership. With Telemundo as the rights holder of the FIFA World Cup, the FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup, Olympic Games and the Premier League, there will be prominent opportunities to highlight our players and teams to bring unprecedented access to fans during marquee moments.\u201d<\/p>\n
