Nickelodeon Spain (España) has acquired the pay TV rights to the upcoming brand-new Spanish movie Los Futbolísimos, an adaptation of Spaniard Roberto Santiago’s same-titled hit book series. Additionally, Paramount Pictures Spain has picked up Spanish distribution rights to the film.

Update (19/8/2018) - To celebrate the upcoming release of Los Futbolísimos, Nickelodeon España has launched a brand-new competition in which fans can win tickets to a preview screening of Los Futbolísimos at Kinépolis de Ciudad de la Imagen (Madrid) on Thursday 23rd August 2018!

Update (20/8/2018) - Following the preview, Los Futbolísimos will be released on Friday 24th August 2018! See below for details!

Los Futbolísimos is based on the popular Spanish saga’s first novel, “El misterio de los árbitros dormidos” ("The Mystery of the Sleeping Referees"), following a group of schoolmates who, aiming to prevent the closure of their soccer team, the Soto Alto Fútbol Club, make a secret pact to always stay together and keep on playing soccer.

The story follows Pakete, Helena and their schoolmates, who go on all sorts of adventures, however, their friendship will be put to the test when they uncover a mystery that could destroy their football team, separating the gang! Are the kids the victims of a conspiracy, or is it all a big coincidence? The time has come for the gang to make a secret pact and create the Los Futbolísimos, with one clear objective: to solve the enigma and be able to stay together!

The movie is being produced by Atresmedia Cine, and marks the company's latest foray into movies aimed at young audiences, which have often played well at local box office. Examples take in 2013’s Zip & Zap and the Marble Gang, that earned €5.2 million ($5.9 million), and 2014’s Pancho, Millionaire Dog ($2.9 million). However, unlike other European markets such as Germany or France, production in Spain of children-oriented films disc much more sporadic.

Miguel Angel Lamata directs and co-wrote the script alongside Pablo Fernández (Iván’s Dream) and Roberto Santiago, also a movie director, with credits such Road to Santiago.

The film is executive produced by Gustavo Ferrada, a senior Spanish industry figure and producer on Juan Jose Campanella’s Underdogs, as well as Atresmedia Cine’s Rosa Pérez, Chester Media’s José Alberto Sánchez and Wandermoon’s Fernando de Miguel.

One of Spain’s best-selling children and youth book series in recent years, Los Futbolísimos has sold to date more than 1.3 million copies in Spain. It has also been published in Portugal, France, Italy, México, Brazil and Argentina, among other countries.

Rolling for eight weeks through Saturday 2nd September 2017 in locations in Madrid, Segovia and Guadalajara, the film stars Joaquín Reyes, star of Netflix’s first Spanish comedy show, Una y No Más, plus a bunch of young actors led by Julio Bohigas, Milene Mayer, Marcos Milara, Iker Castiñeira, Martina Cabrera, Roberto Rodríguez, Samantha Jaramillo, Pablo Isabel, and Daniel Crego, selected from a casting of 5,000 children.

In addition to Nickelodeon and Paramount, Vicente Canales’ Film Factory has acquired internationals sales rights, while Spain’s leading paybox Movistar+ has joined Nickelodeon by picking up the pay TV rights, confirming a strong interest in the project.
