NYON, Switzerland -- ESPN and ABC will televise soccer's 2008 European
Championship under an agreement announced Friday by the Union of
European Football Associations

All 31 games will be televised in the United States: two by ABC and
the rest by ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPN Classic. The tournament will be played
in Austria and Switzerland from June 7-29.

ESPN also has U.S. Spanish-language rights for ESPN Deportes and pay
television rights in Latin America.
"We will have coverage of the European Championship which we have
never had before," UEFA chief executive Lars-Christer Olsson said.

ESPN and ESPN2 broadcast 12 games of the 1996 European Championship,
played in England. The 2004 tournament was available mostly on
pay-per-view, with Fox Sports World televising five first-round games
live and seven knockout-stage matches on tape delay.

ESPN Star was awarded 2008 Euro rights in India. Al-Jazeera was
granted rights for the Middle East and North Africa, while the Hong
Kong rights went to PPCW.
