“In 100 days, one of the biggest moments in global sports will take center stage on FOX Sports,” said David Neal, EP for the coverage on Fox. “Given the caliber of the event, we named Aly (Wagner), a trailblazer in the industry, and renowned announcer JP to lead our expansive coverage. Our programming schedule reflects the scale of the FIFA Women’s World Cup and our commitment to it following our unprecedented coverage of the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada.”
