About When Soccer Came to America: Goals, Glamour and the Beautiful Game
The film examines the North America Soccer League’s (NASL) explosive growth during the 1970’s and 80’s with some of the greatest footballers in history - including Pelé, George Best, and Johan Cruyff - bringing unprecedented attention to the game. Through rare archive footage and intimate interviews, the documentary explores how the NASL became a cultural phenomenon, blending sport, celebrity, and ambition in a uniquely American experiment to popularize the world’s game.
Directed by Oliver Price, When Soccer Came to America: Goals, Glamour and the Beautiful Game leans on a strong ensemble — Shep Messing, Clive Toye, Calum Best — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2026.
