More Than Football

More Than Football centers on the disqualification of the England national football team from the European Football Cup due to fan-related violence. In their absence, the Russian team has a mere two weeks to assemble a squad of players who have experienced recent turmoil in their careers. The film features head coach Sorokin and his assistant Mikhalych as they attempt to revive the careers of players facing various personal crises.

The narrative delves into the lives of these footballers, including forwards Matveev and Sanaev, who are under investigation, and defender Bushagov, who is dealing with a messy divorce. Their individual struggles hinder the team's ability to unite and perform effectively on the field. As the players grapple with their personal issues, the film illustrates the challenges of teamwork and the quest for redemption in a competitive environment.
