After nearly 40 years in the U.S. soccer broadcast scene, Andres Cantor finally checks a major item off his bucket list: calling a game with his son, Nico. They will co-broadcast the Concacaf Nations League semifinal between Canada and Mexico, marking a groundbreaking moment in U.S. English-language sports broadcasting.

This match is not only significant because of the father-son dynamic, but it is also part of a preview for the 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

Andres expressed excitement about this opportunity, stating, “It’s one of my bucket list things, to broadcast a game in English and hopefully it will not be the last”. He noted how the perception of soccer has changed in the U.S. and how he hopes to use his influence to continue promoting the sport.

Nico previously partnered with Andres in Spanish-language coverage, making this English-language broadcast a unique and emotional experience for both.

Cantor’s ability to translate his passion and skills across language barriers not only highlights his versatility but also his commitment to soccer’s growth in the U.S.
