(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 29, 2004 ) Miami, FL -- (NYSE: UVN) - Univision and TeleFutura television networks, leaders in sports broadcasting, will air the 41st edition of the world's longest running national teams
soccer tournament "Copa América" (America's Cup) live from Peru. One of the most watched sporting events among U.S. Hispanics, the competition's 26 matches can be seen July 6-25 with host Fernando Fiore and play-by-play commentary by sportscasters Pablo Ramirez and Ricardo Mayorga.

Ten South American national teams, including 5-time world champion Brazil, plus special guest squads Mexico and Costa Rica, meet to vie for the most hotly contested soccer trophy in the Americas. Featuring top players from throughout the continent, the competition starts with round-robin group play and 2 matches per day from July 6-14. The top two teams in each group plus the two best 3rd place squads advance to the "Copa's" quarterfinals that take place July 17-18. This knockout phase ends with the final match on Sunday, July 25, which will air exclusively on the Univision Network live at 3:30pm (2:30pm Central).

The winner of this top-rated tournament represents CONMEBOL (South American Soccer Confederation) in the FIFA Confederations Cup in Germany next June 2005, another Univision Sports blockbuster event.

The tournament is expected to include the following all-star players: the game's hottest shot blocker and Mexican team captain Oswaldo Sanchez; Argentina's lethal goal scorer, striker Javier Saviola; Brazilian and club team Arsenal stand out midfielder, Eduardo César Daud Gaspar, better known as "Edu"; Brazilian and club team Manchester United forward and World Cup veteran José "Kléberson" Pereira; and also from Manchester United, Uruguayan striker and lethal goal scorer, Diego Forlan.

The previous edition of "Copa América" aired exclusively on Univision and Galavisión networks in 2001. That year, nearly 13 million Hispanics watched the "Copa" games with its final match reaching 36% more Men 18-34 and 32% more Adults 18-34 than the Super Bowl that same year. "Copa América's" 2001 broadcast also delivered more Hispanics in key demos than Olympic primetime coverage in 2000, 1998, 1996 and 1994.
