The two companies will collaborate on new content formats, including bilingual content focused on the Mexican National Team, the CONCACAF Champions League and Major League Soccer.
Additionally, as a “Preferred Digital Media Partner,” Soccer United Marketing (SUM) and their commercial partners can now activate Copa90’s award-winning branded content studio and have the ability to seamlessly integrate their brands and athletes into soccer programs like Walk Talk Football.
