CHICAGO (Feb. 25, 2008) -- The U.S. Under-23 Men’s National Team’s road through 2008 CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying will be broadcast live on ESPN Deportes, which will broadcast all 16 matches of the tournament as the exclusive Spanish-language rights holders. In addition, ESPN360.com will also show all 16 games live online, and will have a replay of each game available on demand for 48-hours following its completion. English-language broadcast information will be announced later this week.

The eight-team event, which includes national teams at the Under-23 age level, will be played as eight doubleheaders from March 11-23, 2008, and will send two finalists to the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
