California, USA – 28 July 2002 (PRN): Fox Sports World and Fox Sports World Espa?ol have entered into an agreement with Inter/Forever Sports Inc. for the U.S. broadcast rights of the Women's Gold Cup 2002 tournament showcasing the world's best female soccer players. The networks will telecast the complete 16-game event starting on Sunday, October 27, live and exclusive, from venues in the U.S. and Canada. Eight national teams including Mexico, Canada and the United States are entering the competition and the two finalists will automatically qualify to compete in the 2003 Women's World Cup in China.

Born out of the success of the U.S.-hosted 1999 Women's World Cup, the first CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup was played in 2000 in the United States. The inaugural Women's Gold Cup included six members of the Football Confederation (Canada, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, USA and Trinidad & Tobago) and two guest teams (Brazil, China). This year, CONCACAF has combined the 2002 Women's Gold Cup with a qualifying tournament for the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup.

"The Women's Gold Cup complements and adds a new dimension to our fall soccer programming line-up," said David Sternberg, General Manager of Fox Sports World and Fox Sports World Espa?ol. "We hope to keep the momentum of U.S. national team soccer alive and give the fans across the country two weeks of exciting live soccer action."
