“Match TV” will show the first ever match of the “Challenge Cup” “Seville” – “Independiente del Valle”

The Match TV channel will broadcast live the first match of the Challenge Cup 2023, where the winner of the Europa League, the Spanish Sevilla, and the winner of CONMEBOL, Independiente del Valle from Ecuador, will play. The live broadcast from the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium will begin on July 19 at 22:45 Moscow time.

The 2023 Challenge Cup is the first match between UEFA and CONMEBOL. He bears the name “Antonio Puerta XII” in honor of the former Sevilla player who died in 2007 at the age of 22 after a cardiac arrest.

There is no extra time, so in the event of a draw, a penalty shoot-out will be awarded immediately after regular time. The winners will receive special plaques and medals.

Alexander Tashingeneral producer of Match TV:

— We are glad to have the opportunity to show our viewers a match of such a high level as the Challenge Cup. This UEFA and CONMEBOL initiative could grow into traditional annual matches between the winners of the Europa League and the champions of CONMEBOL. Football fans watch with great pleasure the matches of the UEFA Super Cup, where the winners of the League and the Champions League meet. The Challenge Cup is an equally interesting game and an important event in the world club football calendar.
