"We are very excited about the opportunity to showcase some of the best in women's soccer," said FOX Sports Executive Producer, FIFA World Cup on FOX, David Neal. "Our dedication to the growth of this sport in America has never been more evident than by the extraordinary coverage we have on tap for this year's CONCACAF Women's Championship."
Viewers have comprehensive access to the entire tournament with live and on-demand streaming via FOX Soccer 2Go and FOX Sports GO, the app that provides live video of FOX Sports content at home or on the go. Additionally, FOXSoccer.com delivers the ultimate inside look on and off the field with video highlights, editorial coverage, live play-by-play and scoring updates.
The 2014 CONCACAF Women's Championship features exciting talent and rivalries from the eight participating nations from North America (United States, Mexico), Central America (Guatemala, Costa Rica) and the Caribbean (Haiti, Martinique, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago). Canada is not participating as the team has already qualified for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup as tournament host.
FOX Sports' commitment to providing fans the best the sport has to offer is clearly evident this month. In addition to the CONCACAF Women's Championship, its schedule is jam-packed with world-class events including UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Euro 2016 Qualifiers and CONCACAF Champions League matches.
