Veteran journalist Juan Carlos Rivero will not be the main person responsible for covering Spain’s matches for the Euro 2024 qualifying phase on TVE, at least not in the two matches the national team will play against Norway and Scotland in March. These broadcasts will be led by David Figueira and Alicia Arévalo, who made her debut as a football storyteller during the last World Cup in Qatar, will also participate, being the first woman to take on this task in an event with these characteristics.
TVE sources explain to this newspaper that the decision is intended to “add more names” by including different voices in the team of narrators, in a year when the public channel will have the broadcasting rights for most football events. Likewise, they emphasize that Rivero will remain connected to the sports section of the company and will continue in the narration of the semi-finals and finals of the Copa del Rey and UEFA Nations League, among other championships. Since 2007, after the retirement of José Ángel de la Casa, the sports journalist became the official voice of the Spanish team on TVE, both in their friendly and official matches.
Throughout his professional career, he has also covered other major sporting events including the Olympic Games, World Cups, Euro Cups, the Champions League and directing and presenting ‘Estudio Estadio’. Juan Carlos Rivero, 61, joined the TVE Sports newsroom in 1989, where he also served as sports content director.
