Documentary on women's impact in football to be released 7 October | OneFootball

The documentary “De Virada – Behind the Scenes and Challenges of Football”, which will be available on the HBO Max streaming platform starting October 7, brings the stories of remarkable women who work behind the scenes of Brazilian football, both on and off the field, to the forefront of the narrative.

The launch event took place on the evening of Tuesday (30), at the rooftop of Visual Farm, located at the end of Avenida Paulista with Consolação, in São Paulo’s capital. The celebration brought together sports personalities, the press, and guests, and featured a roundtable discussion as well as a special projection on the side of the building across from the venue. Everyone also had the opportunity to watch exclusive clips from the film.

The documentary also features the participation of Tamires Dias, player and idol of Corinthians, referee Edina Alves, the coach of the Brazilian Women’s National Football Team Arthur Elias, Nadine Bastos, former assistant referee and refereeing commentator, among others.

In 71 minutes, viewers can follow how female leaders have impacted the football scene in the country, even in an environment still largely dominated by men. Blending entertainment with touches of reality, the documentary will show the audience what happens behind the classic 90 minutes of play, and who are some of the women making the important decisions in football—from transfer windows to behind-the-scenes conversations.

Their journeys to reach prominent positions and all the challenges they faced to break barriers and claim their space will also be revealed in a light yet impactful way, with important testimonials. Furthermore, the documentary also celebrates the achievements of these female leaders, who are often forgotten and underestimated.

Projection on the building and roundtable discussions marked the documentary’s launch in São Paulo
