"We are excited to offer live coverage of world-class Mexican soccer to fans with AT&T," said Kevin Conroy, president, Univision Interactive Media. "This is yet another example of how we continue to offer our audience comprehensive coverage of worldwide soccer tournaments throughout the year, no matter what device they connect from."

AT&T has a long tradition of bringing the most relevant Latino content to Hispanic consumers, including soccer, boxing, games and programming. Earlier this summer, AT&T treated fans to a Hollywood-styled advertisement campaign featuring some of Mexico's most popular national team players including Israel Castro, Efrain Juarez, Jonny Magallon and Carlos Vela. The awe-inspiring ads were created to showcase the country's rich cultural and soccer traditions, and mixed the modern elements of soccer with iconic Mexican artists and powerful pre-Columbian history.

In June and July, AT&T rolled out a star-powered soccer clinic program in 8 U.S. cities, which featured former Mexican players Claudio Suarez, Edgar Duenas and Martin Zuniga. During these clinics children learned training and dexterity tips from the pros, and shared unique moments with the players at pre-clinic autograph sessions.

Most recently, as the title sponsor of the MLS All Star Game 2010, AT&T treated fans in Houston to a one-of-a-kind futbol celebration featuring Mexican forward Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez. Hernandez signed autographs and talked to hundreds of fans during the 2-hour store event.
