- Brand new docuseries explores America’s passion for football ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025

May 22 2025 – DAZN, the world’s leading sports entertainment platform, in partnership with Emmy Award-winning production company NEO Studios (Welcome to Wrexham), announces Home Turf, a compelling new short-form docuseries exploring the rise and resonance of football – or soccer – culture across the United States.
Presented by football influencer and broadcaster Elischa Edouard, Home Turf is a three-part series that journeys through three host cities for this summer’s FIFA Club World Cup, starting in Charlotte, before moving on to Cincinnati and concluding in Atlanta.
Blending documentary with social-style storytelling, the series dives into the soul of each city, spotlighting the local voices and creative forces – musicians, chefs, DJs, artists and all the fans – who are helping to shape a uniquely American football culture.
“People underestimate the depth and passion of fandom for the beautiful game here in the US,” says Edouard. “Just like anywhere else in the world, football rules the streets and in cities like Charlotte, Cincinnati, and Atlanta, this is especially true. Seeing how these communities celebrate the game was incredible and talking to them about the significance of the FIFA Club World Cup being on their ‘Home Turf’ will show the rest of the country how seriously Americans do take football – it’s not just the world’s game, it’s ours too.”
Produced by Neo Studios and executive produced by DAZN, Home Turf offers a visually rich portrait of matchday life and community spirit in modern football culture. It captures how the sport has become woven into the identity of cities traditionally known for other passions – bringing fans into the fold in time for the biggest tournament in club football.
Home Turf will be available to stream on the DAZN platform and channels ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.
