Gaston Gorali, co-writer and producer of the film, and Eduardo Sacheri (who had previously worked with Campanella for the classic film The Secret in Their Eyes) developed the screenplay with Campanella.
The film was released on DVD in the United Kingdom and Ireland on February 9, 2015 by Vertigo Films with distribution handled by Entertainment One, and in the United States on July 19, 2016 by Anchor Bay Entertainment and The Weinstein Company Home Entertainment.

When Amadeo beats the village bully Flash at Table Football. The scene is set for an epic rivalry. Consumed with anger, Flash vows to get even and 10 years later he returns as an International Superstar, a Football Icon and Galatico determined to wreak his revenge. He demolishes the village to build a Football Academy. He destroys the table football table and takes away Amadeo's girl friend the lovely Lara in his chopper.
