An absolutely enormous week is coming to Football For Kids and Football For Kids+!

On Monday, the courtroom doors fly open for The Ballon d’Or Trial, exclusively on FFK+. Harry Kane, Lamine Yamal, Lionel Messi, Rodri and Kylian Mbappé all enter with incredible evidence, but only one football superstar can receive your verdict and walk away with the golden trophy.

Tuesday’s main-feed episode tells the emotional story of Lionel Messi’s final goodbye to Argentina. From a red card less than one minute into his debut to lifting the World Cup, this is a story of defeat, determination, courage and the boy who always came back.

On Wednesday, FFK+ travels from Victorian factory workers to Premier League immortality in The Incredible Story of Arsenal Football Club. Expect cannons, an open sewer, pea-soup fog, flying pizza, Gunnersaurus and the unbeatable Invincibles!

Finally, Thursday’s main-feed episode asks: Where would Manchester United be without Bruno Fernandes? Discover the goals, assists, leadership and extraordinary rescue missions that helped carry one of football’s biggest clubs through the storm.

Football For Kids+ members can enjoy every episode completely advert-free, hear selected episodes early, unlock exclusive stories and play the end-of-episode quizzes.

Michael Olise’s story is proof that there is no single road to becoming a superstar. ⭐⚽

Born and raised in west London, Michael spent time with some of England’s biggest academies but his journey didn’t always go to plan. Chelsea didn’t work out. Manchester City didn’t work out. Then came Reading, the Premier League with Crystal Palace and eventually a huge move to German giants Bayern Munich.

In this episode of Football For Kids, discover how the quiet, wonderfully talented winger became a Bundesliga champion, a France international, an Olympic silver medallist and eventually a World Cup record breaker, surpassing an assist record previously held by the legendary Pelé! 🤯🇫🇷🌍

It’s a story about talent, patience, resilience and remembering that when one door closes, your journey might only just be beginning. ❤️⚽

Today, we are talking about one of the most exciting teenage footballers in the WORLD right now: Ayyoub Bouaddi. He is only 18 years old, but he has already played Champions League football, beaten Real Madrid on his 17th birthday, represented Morocco at a World Cup and is now the subject of a deal worth up to €100 MILLION with Manchester City Yep. ONE HUNDRED MILLION EUROS. At 18. No pressure then! 😳⚽

But this episode is not just about a gigantic transfer fee.

We are going right back to the beginning to discover how a boy from northern France became one of Europe’s brightest young midfielders, why he was breaking records at SIXTEEN, how he combined professional football with serious academic study, and why his love of mathematics might actually help explain the way he sees a football pitch.

This is a story about talent, intelligence, patience, education and being brave enough to take enormous opportunities when they arrive.

This is the story of Ayyoub Bouaddi. ⭐🧠⚽
