In this hilarious and heartwarming underdog story, we follow Thomas Rongen, the rebellious new coach who dares to challenge the status quo of American Samoa’s notoriously unsuccessful national soccer team. As they prepare for the infamous 2014 World Cup qualifying match, Thomas shakes things up by introducing unorthodox training methods, and his tough-love approach pays off as the team’s resolve is tested by unforeseen setbacks. Supporting the players on and off the pitch, Thomas demands resilience and camaraderie, while reminding them that football can be more than just a game.

Based on a true-to-life team transformation, ‘Next Goal Wins’ delivers an unbeatable combo of delightful humor and spirited triumph as the small squad of misfits takes on their FIFA-certified "firsts" while overcoming obstacles from body and mind along the way.

Michael Fassbender stars as Thomas Rongen, an eccentric coach motivated to revive his personal vision, passion and goal through the sport – showing the world, you’re never too old for team spirit.
