Pablo Escobar had one obsession. Not drugs, not money, not power... football.
Narcoball uncovers the incredible story of Colombian football during the early
1990s - shaped by drug lords, rivalries, and ambition. It uncovers a football
empire backed by cartels - where victory was a currency of its own, and
defeat, a matter of life and death.
This is a different story of Pablo Escobar and his rivals. A tale of
clandestine deals that reshaped Medellin's football clubs, where fortunes were
won and lost. It unveils the extraordinary bonds that Escobar forged with
football's luminaries and why his influence reached unprecedented heights,
leading to the astonishing 5-0 victory over Argentina in Buenos Aires, the
murder of referees, and the ruthless coercion of officials culminating in the
killing of Andrés Escobar - the Colombian defender who paid the ultimate price
for an own goal in the 1994 World Cup. It is also an examination of a people's
relationship with both the sport and the nefarious leaders that brought both
pride and terror to their communities.
Set against the U.S War on Drugs, international threats, and government
clampdowns, this is a gripping exploration of Colombian club football under
Escobar's rise and fall.
