“This is a milestone for Univision,” said Juan Carlos Rodriguez, president of Univision Deportes. “These stellar ratings underscore the relevance of our best-in-class soccer content and the power of Hispanic sports fans as viewers and consumers of the sport. For a network this young to be a viable competitor against established destinations like ESPN, Fox Sports and NBC Sports speaks tremendously to our continued commitment to delivering a one-of-a-kind viewing experience for soccer. That is why we are proud to be at the forefront, playing a key role in the growth of the sport of soccer in America and being the destination of choice for soccer fans 365 days a year.”
