Jenny Chiu

Jenny Ana Chiu Amparán (born September 25, 1995) is an American sports reporter and former soccer player. She has worked for CBS Sports since 2020. Born in the United States, she played internationally for the Mexico national under-17 team. She played college soccer for the North Carolina Tar Heels.

Early life and playing career

Chiu was born in El Paso, Texas, to Lorena and C.Y. Chiu. She is of Mexican and Chinese descent. She has two brothers, one of whom, Andy, played college soccer for Akron. In April 2011, the website TopDrawerSoccer.com named her the top player from Texas. She verbally committed to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in July 2011.

During her sophomore year in high school, pain emerged in a spot on Chiu's lower back which was diagnosed as the result of bulging spinal disks partly due to overuse while playing on poor fields. She redshirted her first year and played in only six games the next two seasons. In a study abroad program before her last year of college, she covered soccer and badminton at the 2016 Summer Olympics in an internship with the Olympic News Service. She played in nine games as a redshirt junior, ending her college career in the semifinals of the 2016 NCAA Championship.

CBS Sports hired Chiu in September 2020 to be an on-field reporter for the UEFA Champions League. She began reporting for Morning Footy and appearing on Attacking Third for the CBS Sports Golazo Network in 2023.
