BT Sport, Insight score second Ultimate Goal

Ultimate Goal debuted on BT Sport and Insight TV

UK sportscaster BT Sport has renewed its partnership with Netherlands-based broadcaster Insight TV to coproduce a second season of reality football competition format Ultimate Goal.

The first season of Ultimate Goal debuted on BT Sport in the UK and on Insight TV worldwide last year, while the second run, which is currently in pre-production at London-based indie Zig Zag Productions, will premiere on the two broadcasters later this year.

Ultimate Goal S2 (6×44’) will see 26 women from across the world compete for the chance to become the next female football superstar.

Eniola Aluko, a former Chelsea, Juventus and England forward, returns as director of football alongside Everton and England head coach Rachel Brown-Finnis to manage the squad of hopefuls. The duo will be again supported by Rosie Kmita and Mollie Kmita, former and current pros who will act as coaches and mentors to the aspiring megastars.

Arun Maljaars, Insight TV’s VP of content and channels, said: “The huge success of Ultimate Goal S1 has meant a whole new generation of women and girls has been inspired to get more involved with this Beautiful Game.”
