Next Goal Wins Release date

Next Goal Wins is an upcoming American sports comedy-drama film directed by Taika Waititi, based on the 2014 documentary of the same name by Mike Brett and Steve Jamison. The film is produced by Fox Searchlight Pictures and will be distributed by Searchlight Pictures.

Next Goal Wins follows the true story of the American Samoa soccer team, which holds the world record for the biggest defeat in international football history, having lost 31-0 to Australia in 2001. The team hires a new coach, Thomas Rongen, to help them prepare for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification, with the hopes of redeeming themselves after their devastating loss.

The film stars Michael Fassbender as Thomas Rongen, and also features Elisabeth Moss, Oscar Kightley, David Fane, Beulah Koale, and Kaimana in supporting roles.

The film has been highly anticipated since it was announced in 2019, with Waititi's involvement adding to the excitement. Waititi is known for his unique style and ability to blend humor with heartfelt drama, as seen in his previous films such as Thor: Ragnarok and Jojo Rabbit.
