GolTV to Broadcast Argentina-Brazil Game

GolTV, capsule the exclusive 24/7 bilingual TV network and online community, will broadcast the highly anticipated Argentina vs. Brazil match live on Saturday, June 9 2012 at 2:30 p.m. ET from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The South American rivals will play in front of a sellout crowd of 82,000 fans.

The last time the Argentinean national team played on GolTV (Feb. 26 vs. Switzerland), the game received the highest rating for an international FIFA match in network history, a feat surely to be exceeded Saturday.

“International soccer’s popularity is growing at an incredible rate, and the ability to showcase two of the world’s most accomplished teams leading up to the 2014 World Cup provides GolTV’s passionate viewers the fast-paced and exciting soccer they demand,” said Rodrigo Lombello, COO, GolTV.

In addition to offering national team matches, GolTV delivers exclusive league action from each country. Brazilian play includes games from the emerging Brasileirão championship league and Campeonato Paulista, while Argentinean matches include the weekly “Clasico” from the Argentine Football Association. The network also airs a weekly highlights show for league play from each country, Foot Brazil and Fútbol Argentino.
