Oporto Sports is delighted that our PR client Sven-Göran Eriksson’s documentary, SVEN, is released today (Friday) on Amazon Prime Video in the UK, Ireland and Nordics.
Sven is the stranger-than-fiction story about football’s most unpredictable character, following the rise (and tabloid emblazoned fall) of the former England manager, intertwined with the heart-breaking and moving reality of Sven’s terminal cancer diagnosis. Featuring characters from throughout his life including David Beckham, Wayne Rooney, Roberto Mancini, Kasper Schmeichel, Nancy Dell’Olio and Faria Alam.
Sven is produced by Whisper and Up&Away Film Entertainment, directed by Claudia Corbisiero (Bobby Robson: More than a Manager), produced by Chris Grubb (Ben Stokes: Phoenix from the Ashes) and Drew Masters (14 Peaks, Nothing is Impossible) and executive produced by James Quinn for Up&Away, and Sunil Patel and Mark Cole for Whisper.

Oporto would like to reserve special thanks to everyone involved in the making of this film, including but not limited to the exceptional team at Whisper, Anders Runebjer, Sven’s family, including his children Johan and Lina, and of course Sven himself.
Oporto director, Dean Eldredge, said: “I could not be prouder that after three years of working on this project, from conception, through visits and filming, to today’s release, the remarkable story of Sven-Göran Eriksson’s life will be told in this definitive film.
“I hope people will enjoy the nostalgic trip through his incredible achievements and headline-grabbing moments, alongside the key messages from Sven of the importance of family, friends and enjoying everything that life has to offer.
“It is a wonderful, inspiring and poignant film. Here’s to you, Sven.”
