The film is directed by Yusuke Taki, the script was written by Tetsuo Kamata, and the production is handled by CREDEUS studio, known for the live-action «Kingdom» and «Golden Kamuy». The main cast of 12 characters was presented on the eve of the trailer's publication.
There is no news yet about the release outside of Japan. The adaptation is timed to coincide with the 2026 FIFA World Cup, so it is possible that the international release will not be long in coming.
