Spanish Primera Liga club Barcelona is set to launch a bid with a Bolivian entrepreneur to become co-owners of a Major League Soccer franchise in Miami, according to the BBC.

The MLS plans to add two teams to its league for the 2011 season, with the deadline for applications on Wednesday.

A statement on the club’s website read: “The idea is to set up an investee company involving FC Barcelona and a Bolivian entrepreneur, Marcelo Claure.

“Claure is the chief on an investment group featuring Americans and citizens of different South American countries” the statement continued. “The company’s sole aim right now is to present an application for the franchise and promote it to the MLS.”
Claure owns Bolivia’s FC Bolivar, with whom Barcelona already collaborate.

The MLS currently has 14 teams but is set to expand with Seattle joining in 2009 and Philadelphia in 2010 before a further two franchises are included a year later. Miami Fusion played in the MLS from 1998 to 2001 before losing its franchise.

Portuguese public service broadcaster RTP and pay-television broadcasters RTP agreed a three-year deal with UEFA for the TV rights for the UEFA Champions League.

Under the deal, which runs between 2009 and 2012, Sport TV has been granted rights for all live matches and will show three matches per matchnight on the Sport TV1, Sport TV2 and Sport TV3 channels while all matches will be streamed live on www.sporttv.pt. As well as comprehensive live match coverage, Sport TV will also show highlights programmes on both nights, delayed matches and the UEFA Champions League magazine programme. The UEFA Champions League media rights for 2009-12 will also include the UEFA Super Cup in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

In a separate deal, RTP acquired the exclusive free-to-air coverage of the first choice live match in each match week. The broadcaster will also show a highlights programme on both nights and the weekly magazine programme. RTP’s UEFA Champions League programming will be scheduled on its primary channel RTP1 as well as on Internet via www.rtp.pt and on RTP mobile.

The deal was brokered by sports marketing agency, Team.
