FIFA - QUEEN OF WE DOCUMENTARY
Sports documentary series
We created a full-length feature documentary series about the WE League, officially the Japan Women’s Empowerment Professional Football League, also known as the Yogibo WE League for sponsorship reasons and its players. Starting from the 2021–22 season. It is the first fully-professional women’s soccer league in Japan. Over the course of the year, we documented the progress of the teams and players and were able to capture the evolution of female sports in Japan happening right in front of our lenses. Be sure to watch all four episodes now streaming exclusively on the FIFA+ channel.
