Kicking off on Paramount+ from Thursday, 29 September, Sky Blue: Inside Sydney FC, is the four-part documentary series that takes you behind the scenes of Sydney FC.
Sky Blue: Inside Sydney FC parachutes viewers inside Sydney FC men’s and women’s teams during the most transformational year in the club’s history – the club’s 2021/22 A-League campaigns.
From the players, coaches, and backroom staff to the fans, this exclusive on and off-the-pitch access, is the first time a documentary series has followed both the men’s and the women’s teams over the course of a tumultuous season.
Both the men’s and women’s teams lost in the 2021 Grand Final to arch-rivals in Melbourne, meaning the club is out for redemption in their last year in exile, before their move back home to their new state-of-the-art stadium.
Produced by Mint Pictures and narrated by Golden Globe winner and Sydney FC fan Anthony LaPaglia, the Paramount+ Original series will give viewers real-life sporting drama that delivers triumph and disaster, hope and despair, agony, and ecstasy – the perfect binge-worthy football documentary ahead of the return of the Isuzu UTE A-League and Liberty A-League seasons.
