The FIFA World Youth Championships (from the turbulent Mideast) are not yet listed for any TV coverage. I recall PPV coverage plus delayed FSW coverage 4 years ago...any word out there?

I'm not sure if it was refering to the qualifiers or the finals but I say an ad on a Spanish language station (don't know which) that they would be carrying it, during there long ad showing their soccer coverage for 2003.
At this point, perhaps the guy who runs SoccerTV.com would know.

Might get moved to Japan. Prospects for TV improve if it does.

According to "the guy who runs SoccerTV.com", the tournament will be carried on Univision/ Galavision with the latter showing most of the games.

Just posted on SoccerTV.com (see notes about U-17s and Confeds Cups):
Univision Communications (NYSE: UVN) holds US Spanish-language TV rights to the 2003 World Youth Championships for players under 20.
Coverage will air primarily on Galavision.
Besides the 2003 and 2005 World Youth Championships, Univision Communications also hold US Spanish-language TV rights to the 2003 and 2005 Under-17 World Championships, the 2003 and 2005 Confederations Cup, and the 2003 Women's World Cup.
