Azzurri: Road to Wembley

"Blue Dream: The Road to Wembley" documents the triumphant journey of Mancini's Azzurri soccer team as they compete in the European Championships. This docu-film provides an intimate look into the lives of the players and staff, from their very first match until the final game against England. A group of filmmakers immersed themselves within the team for a month to capture every aspect, including training sessions, matches, travels, and celebrations. Through this lens, we witness the dreams, joys, pains, and hopes of the individuals who make up this remarkable team.The film is a collaboration between the FIGC (Italian Football Federation) and an innovative production unit within the first generalist network, marking a new era in television storytelling with its docu-series format. The project consists of four episodes that aired prior to the European Championship, offering audiences an unprecedented level of access into the inner workings of the national team as they prepare for one of the biggest sporting events on the continent. This groundbreaking approach to sports documentaries is part of the New Formats Development Department's mission to redefine how viewers experience and engage with athletic competitions through compelling, behind-the-scenes narratives.
