Plot Synopsis

Directed by Alex Gale, FOOTBALL MUST GO ON is a four-part docuseries that follows the emotional and physical journey of Ukraine soccer club Shakhtar Donetsk as they compete in the 2022-2023 UEFA Champions League season against the constant backdrop of their homeland being ravaged by war. The players and coaches juggle the demands of playing in club football's biggest tournament, while monitoring the horrors unfolding at home. Living in Ukraine and ultimately forced by war to decamp to Poland, Shakhtar must play at "home" against European giants Real Madrid, and others, in a Warsaw stadium that also houses refugees from their homeland. Wherever they play, Shakhtar must focus on the game at hand with the fate of their loved ones and homeland always on their minds. All four half-hour episodes of FOOTBALL MUST GO ON dropped on Tuesday, September 12, 2023 on Paramount+.
