First Round of Prestigious South American Tournament Kicks Off On
August 4th
Fox Sports en Español announced today the return of the Copa Nissan
Sudamericana to its lineup of exclusive soccer action. For the 8th year
in a row, Fox Sports en Español will have the exclusive Spanish-language
broadcast rights as top clubs from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile,
Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela face off
throughout the four month competition. The tournament kicks off on
August 4th at 8:00pm ET/5:00pm PT with a matchup between
Colombia’s Deportivo Cali and Universidad de Chile.
Copa Nissan Sudamericana is an international football cup competition
that started in 2002, and is second only to the Copa Libertadores in
importance for South American club teams. The winner of Copa Nissan
Sudamericana faces the Copa Libertadores' champion the following year in
the Recopa Sudamericana tournament (the South American equivalent to
UEFA's Super Cup). Last year, Sport Club Internacional from Porto Alegre
became the first Brazilian winners of the trophy by defeating
Argentina’s Estudiantes de La Plata.
The first round of the tournament is scheduled to begin on August 4 and
end on September 17. Round of 16 action will take place during the weeks
of September 21, 28 and October 5. The quarterfinals are scheduled for
the weeks of October 19, 26 and November 2, while the semifinals will
take place between November 11-18. The two-legged finals will be on
November 25 and December 2.
The following table includes programming details for the first round of
the 2009 Copa Nissan Sudamericana. For a complete schedule of Fox Sports
en Español's exclusive telecasts, please visit the network's website at www.foxsportsla.msn.com.
