Hoping to build on its current hold on young Spanish dominant Latino men in the United States, Maya Magazines, Inc. launched Récord Semanario de Fútbol, a weekly magazine for soccer fans in Spanish, September 2, 2008. A new issue will be available every Tuesday. Maya publishes H Para Hombres and H Extremo, two magazines for men.
Notmusa, Maya’s parent company, staff will write and produce the new publication in Mexico. It is expected to average 80 pages with 70 percent editorial and 30 percent ad content.
“With over eight years providing the Hispanic market with magazines such as TVNotas, H Para Hombres and H Extremo, we realized there is a lack of a product that, every week, satisfies the Latin soccer fanatics’ thirst for information they need to stay up to date with their favorite Mexican and international teams,” said Ana Laura Rivaroli, general manager, Maya Magazines.
“Being the only Hispanic publisher that runs weekly (TVNotas) in combination with the experience of the editorial team in charge of the number one sports newspaper in Mexico, Record, creating a weekly magazine about soccer is the natural step to follow in order to position ourselves in this market.”
