A sports-travel documentary series capturing life in small villages across Greece with their own stadiums and local football teams. The series delves into the unique history of each team and its deep ties to the village's culture and traditions. It follows footballers into their homes, fields, paddocks, and cafés, capturing their everyday lives authentically and unfiltered, leading up to the much-anticipated match day.
With seven cameras, the series records every aspect of the matches—on the pitch, in the stands, on the benches, and in the locker rooms—using strategically placed microphones. For the first time in a Greek game, a player wears a microphone during the match, offering an unprecedented perspective.
This season, Village United embarks on a journey across Greece. Starting in Asprokklisia, Trikala, against Ajax (not the Dutch team, the local one), the journey continues through Achillio in Magnesia, Spili in Rethymno, Katalonia in Pieria, Kontopouli in Lemnos, Polissitos in Xanthi, Mataragka in Aetolia-Acarnania, Chiliodendro in Kastoria, Kallirachi in Thasos, Zaimi in Karditsa and Griva in Kilkis, making 16 trips in total. The show goes wherever football and love for the village thrive.

Griva is a village renowned for the crystal-clear waters flowing from the peaks of Mount Paiko and its harsh climate. With no humidity and ideal conditions for well-being, doctors often recommend it to those looking to improve their health. But Griva is also home to Makedonikos—a proud village football team founded in 1978, a club that has been making history ever since. Even if, on occasion, securing a match means offering the referee a goat on a spit.

Among its players are two rising stars from Africa, who arrived through temporary migrant accommodation structures. They share the field with 11 university students—programmers who, before lacing up their cleats for a match, spend their mornings harvesting olives in the fields.

At the heart of the team is cardiologist Christos Gogos. After 48-hour hospital shifts, he still finds the energy to step onto the pitch for Makedonikos. His father, Grigoris Gogos, the team’s president and a key figure in Macedonian football, does everything in his power to support and uplift the club.
