FALSE GLORY: THE BABY FOOTBALLERS

This is the journey of four boys and their coach who travelled from the Ivory Coast to Italy on the promise of footballing glory.

Engineered by rogue agents, and the then-owner of Italian club FC Prato – the dream became a nightmare.
With parents fooled into signing over guardianship, this is one of the rare occasions where a prosecution has made it to trial in Europe.

With our secured access to the police and prosecutors, and court footage we unpack their story. From the hope of footballing glory, to broken dreams.
