Bend It Like Beckham is set for a sequel more than 20 years after its release, its director has confirmed to the BBC.
Gurinder Chadha teased the revival in Basel on Saturday, where England's Lionesses are preparing to face world champions Spain in Sunday's Euro 2025 final.
The 2002 film, which starred Keira Knightley and Parminder Nagra, is credited with inspiring a generation of women to take up football.
"We've been part of changing the game for women, so it felt like this was a good time for me to go back and investigate the characters," she said.
Chadha has earmarked 2027 for the next instalment, to mark both the film's 25th anniversary and the Fifa Women's World Cup in Brazil.
