Searchlight has debuted the long-awaited trailer for Takika Waititi’s ‘Next Goal Wins,’ starring Michael Fassbender.

The film tells the story of the American Samoa soccer team, who suffered the worst loss in World Cup history, losing to Australia 31-0 in 2001. With the 2014 World Cup approaching, the team recruits a down on his luck, maverick coach (Michael Fassbender) to help turn their fate around.
