CHICAGO (Friday, September 19, 2003) - Univision Sports has announced 
that its Galavision and TeleFutura channels will combine to televise 
every match of the FIFA Women's World Cup USA 2003, with 27 of the 32 
matches shown live. Galavision will be the home of a majority of matches 
(18 televised, 13 of them live), mostly during the group phase of the 
tournament, while TeleFutura will carry 14 matches (all live), including 
the last seven matches of the championship - three of the four 
quarterfinals, both semifinals, the third place match, and the final.

Coverage of the event begins this Saturday, September 20, as Norway and 
France open the tournament with a noon ET kickoff at Lincoln Financial 
Field in Philadelphia, with TeleFutura's live coverage beginning at 
11:30 a.m. ET.

TeleFutura will broadcast two of the host United States' opening-round 
matches, while Galavision will carry the other. The U.S. vs. Sweden 
match on Sunday, September 21, will be shown live on TeleFutura at 12:30 
p.m. ET. The second match for the U.S. Women's World Cup Team - on 
Thursday September 25, vs. Nigeria - will be carried by Galavision, live 
at 7:25 p.m. ET. The U.S. will conclude group play on Sunday, September 
28, as they take on DPR Korea (North Korea) on TeleFutura, with live 
coverage beginning at 3:50 p.m. ET.

On Saturday, September 27, fans will have the treat of watching the 
dramatic conclusion of Groups B & C play out with simultaneous coverage 
of matches on both networks. At 12:30 p.m. ET on September 27, 
Galavision will show the action live as Korea Republic (South Korea) and 
Norway face off in Foxboro, Mass. at the same time that France and 
Brazil face off in Washington, D.C., on TeleFutura with Group B's places 
in the quarterfinals likely still in dispute. At 3:15 p.m. ET that same 
day, Group C's quarterfinalists will be determined as Canada and Japan 
battle on Galavision, live from Foxboro, while Argentina and Germany 
take the field in Washington, with TeleFutura bringing the action to 
your home or favorite viewing locale.

As the tournament moves from the group phase into the quarterfinals, 
coverage of the event will shift to TeleFutura, as Galavision will show 
just one quarterfinal (Wednesday, October 1, at 4:30 p.m. ET) before 
TeleFutura airs the final seven matches of the tournament, concluding 
with the FIFA Women's World Cup USA 2003 Final from the Home Depot 
Center in Carson, Calif. on Sunday, October 12, live at 12:30 p.m. ET.
