We aim to provide HISTORY fans with fascinating content and a unique viewing experience with HISTORY OF SOCCER. HISTORY Vault is a unique platform to feature this content and will be sure to get FIFA World Cup viewers fired up for game time.”

As part of the programming event, HISTORY VAULT will exclusively feature HISTORY’s slate of original, globally-focused premium documentary series, complemented by a careful curation of films from previous FIFA World Cups.

GLOBAL ORIGINALS

At the heart of HISTORY OF SOCCER are global, original, premium series, including:

Greatest Moments (5 x 60’) chronicles the teams and players in recent FIFA World Cup history, whose skills and achievements transcended their sport to represent something far greater to fans and non-fans alike and fueled the sport’s unstoppable growth into the commercial behemoth we know today. Episodes include: 1. Pele, Argentina and the Dictators; 2. Return to Turin: Italia 90; 3. The Three Musketeers: France 98; 4. Bring Me the Head of Diego Armando Maradona; and 5. Seven Goals That Shook the World. Each reveals the stories behind football’s most incredible and significant moments with the players, coaches and fans who made them happen. Episodes 1, 2 and 3 are produced by Goalhanger Films; 4 and 5 are produced by North One Television.

Godfathers (5 x 60’) presents five powerful documentaries delving into the minds and strategies of the world’s greatest and most revered club managers, revealing how they rose - often from relatively undistinguished playing careers - to become the global superstars of the sport we know today. Each of the five titans of our modern game is profiled in an intimate and honest portrayal of their achievements, both on and off the field using archival and interview material with the people and players who know them best. Produced by Zig Zag Productions.

Head to Head (5 x 30’) matches up the greatest players of yesteryear with the greatest of today, to find out once and for all, who is the greatest of them all. Every generation has an opinion on who is the world’s greatest player. For the older generation, it’s Pelé, Puskas, Eusebio, Di Stéfano or Charlton. For today’s generation, it’s all about Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Lionel Messi or David Villa vs. Thomas Müller. And for those of us in between, it’s a discussion of the respective talents of Maradona, Zidane, Gullit or Van Basten. With an expert panel of World Cup players and winners, and using hard science of statistics, as well as the romance of style and passion, this series will set out to resolve the most vexing question in sport. Produced by Goalhanger Films.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
