Since 1954, FIFA has sanctioned an official documentary film for each World Cup. Up to 2002, 35 mm film was used for the footage.
2014 FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremony
In 1994, the FIFA World Cup™ came to the USA for the first time in history and set the country alight, giving soccer a tremendous boost in the world’s biggest market. Audiences were treble the previous highest ever achieved for soccer in the USA. This film offers an original view of the razzmatazz and vigour of the first US-staged event and captures the agony of the penalty shootout between Brazil and Italy that decided the world title.
