Underdogs United, also known as Metegol: Underdogs United, is an Argentinian animated series aimed at children. It is based on the film Metegol, produced by Mundoloco CGI, by Oscar winner Juan José Campanella.[1] The series premiered on 7 March 2022 on Discovery Kids (Latin America).[2] The series would later receive US release on Max (formerly HBO Max) on February 16, 2024.[3][4]

The series is named after the heavily edited Americanized dub of the film produced by The Weinstein Company, Underdogs, despite the English version of this show being based on the original Spanish version of the film.[5][6]

Plot

[edit]

Capi, Emma, Beto, Kiko and Gigi form a different football team: they are football players who, for humans, are in a common arcade. But when the lights go out and everyone in attendance leaves, the quintet breaks free from the metal foosball posts and goes through a magical portal that gives access to Sportsville, a world where different sports are everywhere.
