“Univision is the Home of Soccer in the U.S., bringing the beautiful game to fans with passion and expertise that no one in America can match. We’re excited to deliver award-winning commentary and super-serve fans with around-the-clock insight and entertainment—making Univision Deportes the home of ‘the game around the game’ throughout the tournament,” said Juan Carlos Rodríguez, president, Univision Deportes.

In addition to Univision Deportes’ state-of-the-art studios in Miami, telecasts will originate from a special on-site studio at the Four Seasons in Moscow.
