- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Brazil and Peru will face each other on Wednesday, September 9, at 20:00 Brasília time at the Maracanãzinho in Rio de Janeiro. The match is part of the second round of the South American Women's Volleyball Championship, a tournament that offers qualification spots for the 2027 World Cup and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Six national teams are competing in the event: Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia, and Chile.
Brazil entered the second round following a 3 to 0 victory over Venezuela, with Ana Cristina scoring 12 points and Lorena contributing 10. The match also marked the return of Gabi, who scored six points after recovering from a lower back injury. Peru began the tournament with a 3 to 1 loss against Argentina. Despite the defeat, Brazil's coach, José Roberto Guimarães, praised the Peruvian team for their volume of play and expressed respect for the Peruvian school of volleyball.
Following the first round of matches, Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia lead the standings with three points each. Peru, Chile, and Venezuela currently have zero points. The tournament follows a round robin format where the top three teams will secure spots for the World Cup, while one team will earn an Olympic berth.
Coverage of the event varies by region. In Brazil, the match will be broadcast on SporTV 2. In Peru, the games are available via Latina TV and the official YouTube channel of the South American Volleyball Confederation.
