    2018-04-23 08:54 CEST History of Football - 14 dage i fodboldens tegn Som optakt til sommerens fodbold-VM præsenterer HISTORY en stor 14 dages global TV-event med masser af spændende programmer fra den 28. maj til 10. juni. Under overskriften History of Football får seerne bl.a. et tilbageblik på legendariske turneringer, portrætter af ikoniske spillere og trænere samt historien om alt det, der foregår på og udenfor banen. Det er første gang i HISTORY's historie, at kanalen på denne måde sætter fokus på fodbold med en stor international tv-begivenhed. History of Football afvikles i flere end 160 lande verden over, og i løbet af to uger kan seerne glæde sig til bl.a. en række helt nye, originale produktioner: Football's Greatest Moments (28.-31. maj kl. 21) fortæller historien om de spillere og hold, som gennem deres passion og præstationer har forvandlet fodbold til langt mere end bare sport, og har medvirket til skabelsen af den dominerende supersport, vi kender dag. Serien kigger bl.a. tilbage på Brasiliens VM-sejr i 1970, som gjorde Pelé til nationalhelt. Seerne kan også glæde sig til et tilbageblik på 1986, da navnet Diego Maradona var på alle læber. Følg med, når vi går på jagt i arkiverne efter de største sejre, bitreste skuffelser og mest uforglemmelige VM-øjeblikke! Football Godfathers (1.-5. juni kl. 21) går tæt på fem af verdens mest magtfulde og respekterede klubtrænere - Sven-Göran Eriksson, Louis van Gaal, Claudio Ranieri, Roy Hodgson og Gérard Houllier. Vi fortæller historien om, hvordan de - ofte fra relativt anonyme spillerkarrierer - udviklede sig til fodboldens internationale sværvægtere.
