Inspirational soccer drama, for Walt Disney Studios.

A legendary Egyptian soccer coach is brought back from retirement by his former star player to train a group of misfits from around the Arab world at a new soccer academy in Jordan. While the boys fight and struggle to get along, it's up to the coach's granddaughter Laila to unite the team and their curmudgeonly coach in order to save the future of the Middle East Football Academy.

The first Arabic language Disney film. This is the first time that a major Hollywood studio produces a film for the Arab world.
