United Arab Emirates- and Saudi Arabia-based football media and culture company Footballco and Spanish top-flight football division La Liga have launched a documentary exploring football fandom across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

A Journey of Passion explores the continued popularity of La Liga across the Arab world, following the journeys of three devoted fans from Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Morocco who support Valencia CF, Real Sociedad and Atlético Madrid, respectively.

During the film, the three fans receive a surprise invitation to Spain to watch their beloved clubs in person.

The doc is being distributed across La Liga’s social media and those of the featured clubs, as well as Footballco’s MENA media network, including digital sports publisher Kooora and the Arabic edition of Goal.

Footballco is majority-owned by Integrated Media Company, an affiliate of US private equity giant TPG. DAZN Group retains a minority stake.
