Atresmedia snaps up U-20 World Cup rights

Spanish commercial broadcaster Atresmedia has acquired rights for the 2013 Fifa U-20 World Cup national football team tournament.

Atresmedia-operated channels La Sexta and Nitro will show games during the competition, which will take place in Turkey from June 21 to July 13.

Atresmedia struck the deal directly with Fifa, football's global governing body.

La Sexta will show the Spain national team’s games against France, Ghana and the United States. Atresmedia was unveiled as the new name for the Antena 3 commercial broadcaster last month.
