- Prime Video will exclusively premiere an as-yet-untitled docuseries worldwide about Spain's FIFA World Cup victory — a 1-0 win over Argentina in New Jersey sealed by Ferran Torres' extra-time goal — giving the team its second World Cup winner's star.
- RFEF and Telefónica Broadcast Services (TBS) are co-producing the series, which features never-before-seen footage and testimonies from all protagonists across the 52-day campaign involving 26 players and the coaching staff.
- The docuseries spotlights Spain's semi-final upset of pre-tournament favorite France — played with what the producers call "control soccer" — alongside the camaraderie, tension and competitive instinct that defined the run.
- This marks the seventh collaboration between the RFEF and Prime Video, expanding the streamer's "La Roja" catalogue that already includes "Luis, el sabio del éxito" (about Luis Aragonés and Euro 2008), "La fuerza del grupo" (Euro 2020) and "10 años de la primera estrella."
- Prime Video is building out sports programming with exclusive live coverage of UEFA Champions League and NBA games, plus documentary franchises like "All or Nothing: Arsenal" and "Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues."
Why it matters: For Prime Video, the seventh RFEF collaboration locks in another tentpole docuseries that strengthens its pitch as the global home of Spanish national team content, complementing its live UEFA Champions League and NBA rights in a streaming market where exclusive sports increasingly drives subscriber retention. For the RFEF, the series gives Spain control of the narrative around a tournament the article itself characterizes as "controversial and politically tainted."
