CONCACAF has announced partnerships with Telemundo and Universal Sports Network for both the women’s and men’s 2012 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournaments.
T&T’s men team is likely to feature in that competition as they contest the CFU final round in St Kitts/Nevis later this month.
Telemundo will provide exclusive Spanish-language television coverage of both tournaments in the US. Universal Sports Network’s rights include exclusive English-language telecasts of all matches featuring the United States and the finals from each of the tournaments.
The women’s tournament will take place from January 19-29, entirely at BC Place in Vancouver, Canada. The two finalists will qualify for the 2012 Olympic Games in London from July 27 to August 12.
The men’s tournament will be played from March 22 to April 2. The group stage will be played at The Home Depot Center in Carson, California, and Nashville, Tennessee’s LP Field. The semifinals and final will take place at the new LIVESTRONG Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kansas. Once again, the two finalists will qualify for the Olympic Games.
