    GolTV, the nation’s only independent bilingual channel delivering the most sought-after international fútbol, announced a new agreement with UNCAF, the Central American Football Union, to be the exclusive North American broadcaster of the 2011 Copa Centroamericana presented by +Movil. Formerly known as the UNCAF Nations Cup, this tournament is played every two years and in January 2011 will make its debut on GolTV live from Panama. The Copa Centroamericana features match play involving each UNCAF national team, including Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama and El Salvador, and highlights premier international soccer stars.

    Univision only used Galavision which is their 3rd tier and cable channel for this tourny. I don't recall ever seeing Telefutura broadcast any of these games.

    I wish Univision had treated this tourny better but instead they had it hidden in their 3rd tier channel (their bastard child).

    I think it will have better exposure on GOLTV except that I think Galavision is more commonly found in lower tier cable packages and not GOLTV. For example whenever I'm travelling I will most likely stumble into Galavision while surfing the hotel's cable package but NEVER will I find Goltv.

    The article only really mentions the US...for your sake though, I hope they do...and if not, well there should be a good amount of places online that will stream it. (Not to mention Canal 4 of ES will also air the tournament.)

    That says Sunday's (January 16) Belize-El Salvador game will be shown delayed at 10:00 P.M. because Barcelona is on live at 3:00 P.M.
