"Born for this - mehr als Fußball" is the first serialized soccer documentary for TV worldwide. The series focuses on the players and their very personal stories and backgrounds.
The Warner Bros. documentary department accompanied the DFB women's national soccer team for 2.5 years. The result is two seasons of the documentary "Born for this - mehr als Fußball" (“Born for this - more than soccer”). The documentary outlines the people behind the national team - coaches, staff and players - and gives this great team the visibility it deserves. Emotional stories, gripping tournaments and quiet tones give viewers a deep insight into the heart of the team.
National coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg says: “The Warner team has followed us closely, giving us exclusive insights. We are delighted about this great project and can show a broad public who and how we are. Because we have so many great personalities and strong stories to tell. This documentary will give us a boost in terms of visibility.”
Holger Blask, Managing Director Marketing & Sales and spokesperson for DFB GmbH & Co KG, says: “We are very proud to be the first in the world to show the women's national team not only from a sporting perspective, but also from the very personal side of the players.”
Season 1 on the road to the European Championship in Great Britain was broadcast in 2022 on ARD, Sky, Magenta TV and Discovery, while Season 2 around the World Cup in Australia was shown on ZDF and the ZDF Mediathek in fall 2023.
