Andres Cantor makes history with father-son broadcast duo

Andres Cantor, a famous soccer broadcaster in the U.S., will make history this Thursday. He will call a game alongside his son, Nico, during the Concacaf Nations League semifinal. This marks the first time a father-son duo has worked together in a major U.S. sports broadcast in English. Andres Cantor has been a prominent voice in soccer for nearly 40 years. He is known for his passionate calls, including during significant events like World Cup games. Cantor expressed excitement about this opportunity, stating it has long been a goal of his to work with Nico in English. Nico Cantor is currently a broadcaster for CBS Sports and has previously worked with his father on Spanish-language radio. Now, they will collaborate on a high-profile match between Canada and Mexico, and Andres hopes this will be just the first of many broadcasts together. Cantor has seen soccer's popularity grow in the U.S. over the years. He started broadcasting soccer in 1987 and has been instrumental in promoting the sport despite initial challenges from mainstream media. He believes soccer is gaining a stronger foothold in American sports culture. Andres Cantor's signature goal call has become iconic. Known for his trademark enthusiasm, he aims to bring the same energy to this English-language broadcast. He acknowledges that calling a game in English requires a different approach than in Spanish, but he feels comfortable having his son by his side. The match on Thursday is viewed as a preparation for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Cantor is excited for the future of soccer and feels honored to play a part in it. He hopes to deliver an entertaining experience for fans during this special broadcast.
