Neymar JR: Road To The World Cup

Docufollow series for Red Bull.

Through the eyes of those who make great stories happen, we dove into the world of one of the biggest icons in global sports.

In “Neymar Jr: Road to the World Cup”, a docufollow series by Red Bull for YouTube, audiences are invited into the private world of one of the biggest names in global soccer. We follow his days off, behind the scenes of his training sessions, intimate dinners and the real expectations of an athlete living through the most intense and challenging journey of his career.

Pulling off a project of this magnitude and sensitivity requires surgical precision behind the scenes. Our role as the Brazilian arm of the production was precisely to keep the technical setup invisible enough for the truth of everyday life to come through on screen fluidly and naturally.

We joined forces with a heavyweight team, Afterparty Studios, Red Bull and Red Bull Global, to turn this complex operation into reality, all under the watchful eye and direction of our founding partner, Leila Savary.

The complete series is available for free on Neymar Jr.'s official YouTube channel.
