Inter Miami CF

WEFL-AM (ESPN Deportes Radio 760) in West Palm Beach is named the official Spanish-Language radio partner of Inter Miami CF, the 2024 Supporters' Shield winner. This partnership expands Spanish-language sports coverage in South Florida, with the station now offering live broadcasts of all Inter Miami CF regular season and playoff matches. The station's new role includes not only broadcasting matches locally but also streaming them nationally via the Deportes Radio FC app, while SiriusXM will provide broader audience access.

Deportes Radio 760 General Manager Julian Zaldivar said, "This partnership allows us to further connect with the vibrant and growing Hispanic community here in South Florida and across the United States, where fútbol is more than just a sport-it's a passion." He also emphasized how Inter Miami's recent success, bolstered by global superstars and rising local talent, has fueled enthusiasm for the sport in the region.

The broadcasts will be hosted by veteran commentators, including Fernando Fiore, known as "El Presidente," and Lionel "Leo" Vega, referred to as "El Poeta del Gol." Fiore, a 30-year sports personality, has been a fixture in Inter Miami's media landscape. Vega, a former professional soccer player and noted soccer journalist, brings his poetic style to the play-by-play commentary. Together, they form one of the top Spanish-language futbol broadcasting duos in Major League Soccer.

In addition to match coverage, Deportes Radio 760AM will also host Ritmo, a weekly show that provides deeper insights into Inter Miami, featuring player interviews and match highlights. Hosted by Elias Bustamante and Damian Perez, with contributions from Fiore and Vega, the show will stream on the Deportes Radio FC app and be available as a podcast.
