The film is based on the true story of the aforementioned soccer team. In fact, in 2014 a homonymous documentary was released that followed the story of these athletes and their coach, Thomas Rongen.
In interview with total filmsWaititi explained the reasons that motivated him to make this film:
“It had everything I need when I make a movie. […] I just wanted to make a sports movie. I have never made one before. I love sports movies. And I love loser stories.
