The four-part documentary is a collaboration between the Spanish soccer federation (RFEF), production company Telefónica Broadcast Services, and will be distributed by Prime Video.

RFEF released a statement on Friday where it revealed a little of what audiences across the world can expect from the series.

“Effort, laughter, camaraderie, moments of tension and maximum demand,” the federation said.

“The documentary series guarantees spectacle, entertainment and closeness to understand the keys to success of a team that, thanks to its competitive instinct and permanent eagerness to improve, will be remembered forever not only for what it achieved—a record-breaking World Cup title—but, above all else, how it conquered it.”

The series will be released in December and it will be available in more than 200 countries.
