FUTBOL DE PRIMERA ADDS U.S. RADIO RIGHTS IN ALL LANGUAGES FOR 2006 FIFA WORLD CUP TO PREVIOUSLY-HELD 2002 FIFA WORLD CUP RADIO RIGHTS

SAN FRANCISCO (June 20, 2002) - Fútbol de Primera, the owners of the exclusive U.S. radio rights in all languages for the 2002 FIFA World Cup and owners of the exclusive U.S. Spanish-language radio rights for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, announced today that it has acquired the exclusive U.S. radio rights for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in all languages. FDP also owns the exclusive U.S. radio rights in all languages to all FIFA Additional Events through 2006.

After a lengthy negotiation, Fútbol de Primera reached this agreement with Kirch Media Group and FIFA, the international organization that governs soccer around the world.

As a result, Fútbol de Primera, who previously owned all radio rights in the United States to the 2002 FIFA World Cup in every language such as Spanish, English, Portuguese, Polish, Korean, German, French, etc, now owns these same rights for the 2006 FIFA World Cup as well.

For the past 15 years Fútbol de Primera has dedicated itself to the development of soccer in the United States. In 1991 Fútbol de Primera created the Honda Player of the Year award, which is given annually to the best player on the U.S. National Soccer Team as chosen by the media. Additionally, Fútbol de Primera organizes the annual Honda Symposium, which provides a forum for the leading personalities in the world of soccer to speak candidly about the game. Fútbol de Primera also broadcasts all United States National Team home games on its Spanish-language radio network of 100 stations across the country.

In making today's announcement, Alex Gutman, the Co-Chairman of Fútbol de Primera, said: "Since the 1980s we have been pioneers in the development of soccer in the U.S. with our daily radio programs, our acquisition of important radio rights, our organization of soccer events, our creation of the largest Spanish-language radio network ever, our publication of books and magazines and our broadcasts of U.S. National Team games to the Hispanic community. Now we feel that there is a void in the development of soccer in other languages, especially English, and we are going to try to fill this void as well. This will be a difficult task, but it was also difficult to reach the point we are at today and we feel ready for this new challenge. We are very happy and proud to extend our relationship with Kirch Media Group and FIFA in this way and we feel that this agreement exemplifies the confidence that they have in Fútbol de Primera."
