There are national teams with players, stadiums, and millions of fans that will never be able to play in a World Cup. Not the next one. Not the one in four years. Never. Why has FIFA banned them forever?

In this documentary, we explore the territories that official football prefers to ignore: Kurdistan, Greenland, Tibet, Western Sahara, and Kosovo. Each with its own history, its own system, and its own reason for continuing to play even though no one is watching. And in the end, the parallel World Cup that FIFA doesn't want you to know exists.

It's not lesser football. It's the most honest football left.
