premiere Soccer Cam at 8 p.m. EDT and Football’s
Hidden Story at 8:30 p.m. EDT on Sept. 4 to North American

makes fans the stars by combining user-generated video of soccer
highlights and outtakes for laugh-out-loud family entertainment.
Also premiering is the inspirational 26-episode documentary-style
program, Football’s Hidden Story, which
captures extraordinary stories from around the world of people whose
lives have been positively impacted by the game of soccer. From helping
sufferers of schizophrenia rehabilitate in Italy to taking orphans off
the streets and getting them into schools and onto soccer fields in
Nepal, Football’s Hidden Story reveals
true stories of lives changed and inspired by soccer.
“Football’s
Hidden Story isn’t about the soccer stars
or the high profile leagues, this series is about exposing why soccer
continues to be the most popular sport around the globe,”
said Alexander Koch of FIFA Communications. “These
inspirational stories of hope and courage demonstrate that soccer can
positively impact lives, regardless of handicap, age or nationality.”
“Football’s
Hidden Story proves that anyone, anywhere can participate in the
game of soccer, and it’s a sport that can
change lives both on and off the field,” said
Constantino Voulgaris, EVP of Programming and New Business Development
at GolTV. “Soccer Cam also features
the abilities of the everyday soccer star with hometown highlights,
fancy footwork and of course the occasional blooper. This offers a
chance to our audience to star on GolTV, and we’ve
had an overwhelming response with thousands of video submissions.”
The show that turns fans into stars, Soccer Cam, will feature
some of the most exceptional and hilarious moments captured by the fans
themselves. Now hometown heroes can show off their soccer skills in
front of the entire GolTV audience. Viewers are encouraged to upload
their favorite home soccer videos online at www.goltv.tv
