Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 01/17/2024
This retrospective offers viewers a chance to see what it was like both on and off the field for the teams that competed in 2022's FIFA World Cup. Go to Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com 01/02/2024
3.5/5
That said, there is nothing particularly innovative about Captains of the World, but even within the formulaic universe the work in all areas is impeccable and in a good part of its 280 minutes, undoubtedly effective.

Captains of the World causes its own problems. Due to how brilliant most of the episodes are, it is the absence of others that hurts... it must be soul-crushing to be a fan from a nation that attended the World Cup, only for them to be unrepresented. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

This show changes the way I view the World Cup. There is so much pressure in every moment of every game. The honor of playing for your country is incredible. The different tactics of every team, and the way the tournament affects each player. It's incredible. See more Shi Y 01/05/2024 This is a fantastic recap of what has been a fantastic World Cup.

A masterpiece in sports documentary See more Basil L 01/03/2024 The series tells more than a football story.
