Fulwell 73 docuseries One Team, One Dream follows its all-conquering 2019-21 years

DAZN has acquired the worldwide rights (except APAC) for Fulwell 73 docuseries One Team, One Dream, through its distribution arm, DAZN Studios.

The six-part series goes behind-the-scenes of the Chelsea women’s side, which has won the last three Women’s Super League titles (five total), last two FA Cups (four total), two League Cups, and much more under the management of Emma Hayes, who won Pundit of the Year at the inaugural Broadcast Sport Awards in 2021.

The series focuses on the 2019-2021 period under Hayes, when Chelsea dominated domestic football and reached the final of the Women’s Champions League. Hayes herself features in the documentary, as well as high profile players such as Bethany England, Fran Kirby, Sam Kerr, and more. The first episode will land on DAZN and DAZN’s UEFA Women’s Champions League YouTube channel on 29 May.

One Team, One Dream is produced and directed by Alex Sunderland (The Secret Life of 4 and 5 Year Olds, 24 Hours in A&E ) and executive produced by Fulwell 73’s Leo Pearlman and Ben Turner. It was created in partnership with Waffle Iron Entertainment, and the DAZN deal was negotiated by Range Media Partners.
