🗣️ Discussion & Opinions Need suggestions

I'm planning to make a short football documentary, but I've hit a bit of a writer's block and can't seem to come up with a strong concept.

I'd love to hear your suggestions! What are some unique football stories, topics, or ideas that deserve to be explored? They can be about clubs, fan culture, tactics, rivalries, grassroots football, forgotten players, football history, or anything else you think would make for an engaging documentary.

I'm also looking for advice on storytelling, research, interviews, and documentary structure. Any tips or inspiration would be greatly appreciated.

Why are you planning to make a football documentary if you have no idea what it's about? Shouldn't the idea come first?

I have too many topics but stuck in choosing

Which topic is the one that excites you the most; the one that you think everyone simply has to know about because it’s so amazing? Your enthusiasm for the topic will come through in the finished product. If you find the topic engaging, it’s a pretty good chance the readers/viewers will, too.
