Inspiring images capture the joy of amateur football around the world

Inspiring images capture the joy of amateur football around the world. David Beckham: Save Our Squad is a new Disney+ documentary about his career in East London. He hopes the show will inspire viewers. He believes the importance of grassroots football comes out.

Sport has a long history as a focus for community. Nelson Mandela believes sport can unite people. The most famous instance of this was the Christmas Truce of 1914. Football has also been used to bring people together. It has helped to calm tensions between East and West Germany after their World Cup match in 1974. It also helped Robert Falcon Scott's Antarctic explorers and the children caught amidst the conflict in Donetsk, Ukraine in 2018. In the series Welcome to Wrexham, the importance of sport in general is explored.

The Walt Disney Company is majority owner of National Geographic Partners.
