As Ray Warren makes his way to his second-floor office in Telemundo’s South Florida headquarters each morning, he passes a giant digital clock counting down the days, hours, minutes and seconds until the start of the World Cup on June 14 half a world away in Moscow.
That clock will show less than 11 days remain before kickoff on Sunday — not that Warren really needs the reminder. He’s been counting down the days on his own since leaving NBC to become president of Telemundo Sports in 2016, just in time to head the biggest project the Spanish-language network has ever attempted.
