Plot

The Yugoslav national football team prepares to participate in the inaugural FIFA World Cup, the world championship for men's national association football teams that will take place in the capital of Uruguay, Montevideo in 1930. After a lengthy trip over the Atlantic Ocean, the Yugoslav national team finds themselves amongst 12 other nations, competing for the World Cup.

The Yugoslav team are the underdogs of the tournament and are given a minimal chance of succeeding after being drawn with the favorites of the tournament, Brazil. Thanks to the talent and dedication of the players, they defeat Bolivia and Brazil in their group stage and advanced to the knockout stage. News spreads around the world that Yugoslavia came third place in the tournament,[lower-alpha 1] and the team receiving a bronze medal.
