Synopsis
"More Than Football" (2025) is a Russian sports comedy-drama directed by Viktor Dement — watch it online on iFILM. England gets banned from the European Cup after fan violence spirals out of control. Russia steps into the final round with two weeks to assemble a squad from scratch.
Coach Sorokin (Aleksei Guskov) and his assistant Mikhalych (Ivan Okhlobystin) scrape together whoever is still technically eligible: two forwards under criminal investigation, a defender mid-divorce, a hot-headed youngster riding the bench for his attitude. Aleksei Vorobyov, Alexander Samoylenkov and Roman Madyanov round out a roster that has every reason not to get along — and none of the willingness to change that.
The film leans into the dysfunction rather than papering over it, which is what keeps it from feeling like a standard underdog story. Stream "More Than Football" (2025) online on iFILM.
