Budweiser and Fox partner to make documentaries on the history of football

The Budweiser brand of beer, an official sponsor of the 2014 World Cup, joined with the U.S. pay-TV group Fox Sports to create a series of six 30-minute documentaries on the history of football on 05/03/2014. Broadcast in over 55 countries, the series is part of the 2014 World Cup "Rise As One" marketing campaign, presented by Budweiser on 19/02/2014.

The documentaries will focus on topics of political importance, such as the match of the 1998 World Cup between the U.S. and Iran (1-2 on 21/06/1998 in Lyon), during a diplomatically difficult time or matches between enemy soldiers on Christmas Day 1914. The first episode will air on 25/03/2014 in the United States.

The series serves as a tribute to some football events that have highlighted humanity and the role of football in society.
