TV broadcast crew announced

Atlanta United has hired veterans Alan Green, Kevin Egan, Dan Gargan and Brittany Arnold as the broadcast crew for the team’s inaugural MLS season on Fox Sports South and Fox Sports Southeast.

Green, of BBC Radio Sport, and Egan, of beIN sports, will split play-by-play duties. Gargan, an MLS veteran, will be the color analyst. Arnold, from beIN Sports, will be the studio host and sideline reporter.

“We’re thrilled to have such a distinguished and dynamic group of talent for our broadcasts,” Atlanta United president Darren Eales said in a team release. “With Alan’s vast experience calling major international tournaments and Kevin’s strong MLS and hosting background, they will lend a unique and qualified point of view to our playby-play commentary. We are also very excited to welcome Dan to the team providing the perspective of a former MLS player turned analyst, as well as Brittany, who brings fantastic energy and presence to the field.”

Green, a native of Belfast, Northern Ireland, has been a soccer commentator since 1982 and has served as BBC Radio Sport’s lead commentator since 1990. He has broadcast seven World Cups, among other notable tournaments.

He will broadcast the Champions League final in Cardiff, Wales, before his first Atlanta United broadcast on June 17 against Columbus. — DOUG ROBERSON
