TLN TELELATINO SCORES WITH BROADCAST OF
“FOOTBALL FOR HOPE” WORLD ALL-STAR SOCCER MATCH
TO BENEFIT VICTIMS OF TSUNAMI

EXCLUSIVELY IN ENGLISH ON TLN:
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2005 AT 8:30PM/ET – From Barcelona, Spain

TLN Telelatino, Canada’s #1 ethnic specialty channel, is pleased to announce it
will broadcast a special “Football for Hope” benefit soccer match for victims of
the tsunami, exclusively in English, on February 15th at 8:30p.m. (ET).

Organized by FIFA and UEFA, two of the world’s top soccer associations, and in
consultation with the Spanish football association, and with support for FC
Barcelona who are providing their stadium and staff free of charge, this benefit
match will see teams led by Ronaldinho, the FIFA World Player 2004 and Andriy
Shevchenko, the European Footballer of the Year 2004, go head-to-head from
Barcelona’s Nou Camp stadium.

More than 50 players have been invited by FIFA to participate, including some of
the biggest stars in the world of soccer, including international superstars
such as David Beckham, Ronaldo, Roberto Baggio, Francesco Totti and Zinedine
Zidane. Italy’s Pierluigi Collina will referee the match. A complete list of
players is attached.

Although TLN is already known for it’s extensive weekend coverage of Italian
Championship Soccer, and high profile Championship League matches, the airing of
this benefit match is a great coup.

All of the proceeds of the “Football for Hope” match will be donated to the
FIFA/AFC Tsunami Solidarity Fund, which has been set up jointly by FIFA and the
Asian Football Confederation (AFC). UEFA has also pledged donations to this
fund.
