The broadcast will let the world see the magic of this growing sport with video coverage of the recent FIFG FootGolf World Cup Orlando 2023.

ORLANDO, FLORIDA, USA, August 2, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- ESPN, the “Worldwide Leader in Sports,” adds another international sport to its showcase of sporting competitions worldwide, presented by the American FootGolf Federation (AFGF).

On Friday, Aug. 4, ESPN will, for the first time, broadcast and stream highlights of the Federation for International FootGolf (FIFG) FootGolf World Cup Orlando 2023, held this past May 27-June 6 on the Evermore Resort Grand Cypress and Disney’s Palm golf courses in Orlando, FL.

ESPN’s FootGolf special uses video content produced by CTV Sports, which streamed the event live on its app over the 10 days of competition. It includes the champions from six categories:

Men: Bence Bacskai, Hungary
Women: Lucia Cermakova, Slovakia
Senior Men: Jan Aksel Odden, Norway
Men’s Team: France
Women’s Team: Japan
Men’s Senior Team: Argentina

CTV’s CEO Mike Ferreira adds, “To grow a sport, the world needs to see how exciting and passion-filled it is. The CTV Sports app (available in Apple and Android stores) made it free and accessible. But now, by partnering with ESPN, the image of the game of FootGolf will be seen by a much larger audience.”

“FootGolf is the ultimate hybrid sport combining the skills of futbol (soccer) with the elegance of golf,” says American FootGolf Federation president Laura Balestrini. “ESPN will showcase the world’s best footgolfers who competed on some of FootGolf’s most beautiful and challenging courses.”
