Pablo Ramírez, widely regarded as one of the most iconic voices in soccer broadcasting, is a Spanish-language play-by-play announcer for MLS on Apple TV. A native of Jalisco, Mexico, and a former goalkeeper, Ramírez has been a central figure in Spanish-language sports media for nearly three decades. Standing at 6'5", he earned the nickname “La Torre de Jalisco,” a moniker as memorable as his signature goal calls.
Ramírez spent nearly 30 years with Univision, Galavisión, Telefutura, UniMás, and TUDN, where he became one of the most recognized and influential broadcasters in North America. From 1994 to 2022, he served as Univision’s lead play-by-play voice, headlining coverage of seven FIFA World Cups, five Copa América finals, 12 Gold Cups, a UEFA Euro final, and the Pan American Games. He was also the primary voice for the network’s broadcasts of the Mexican men’s national team, Liga MX, MLS, the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and the Primeira Liga.
His commanding voice and deep understanding of the game later made him one of the most recognizable narrators in sports media. His popularity even extended into entertainment, with a cameo appearance in the animated film Rio 2 (2014).
