Cristiano Ronaldo is set to produce a scripted drama series for on-demand video service Facebook Watch, centred around a girls' high school football team.
According to Variety's Christi Carras, Ronaldo and his new studio, wiip, will partner with television executive Paul Lee to create the series.
"The story of my life has many similarities with the highs and lows the girls' varsity soccer team will face in the series," Ronaldo said. "While the series is set against the background of soccer, it goes much deeper than just the beautiful game. It's about values, challenges, friendship, difficult times, hard work, solidarity, tensions, and harmony.
