Produced by Al Maha Al Arabi and Lolafilms, the Saudi Arabian remake of Javier Fesser’s “Campeones” , a Spanish blockbuster and Spain’s International Oscar submission, has been acquired by theatrical distributor Vox, VOD service Shahid VIP and international sales company Latido Films.

Some 90 film professionals from Saudi Arabia, Spain, Lebanon and Egypt were busy filming the Saudi remake of “Campeones” in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for some seven weeks when the COVID-19 pandemic struck, forcing the production to shut down on March 17. “We had only two scenes to go,” said “Champions” producer Andres Vicente Gomez of LolaFilms.

“We switched the sport to soccer but also worked with local non- pro kids with special needs,” said Gomez, who added that as in the original, only the lead role and a few other adult characters are played by actors.
