Last season a new team joined the lowest level of the Czech football league. FC Roma is a Děčín-based district club made up primarily of players of Roma origin. But the other competing teams are not amused by the Roma’s team promotion to their league and the majority of them boycott them.

This marks the start of an unusual season for FC Roma. Sometimes the match is played, other times not. Nothing is certain in advance and the team wins most of their matches by default. However, the FC Roma players never lose their sense of humour and continue their battle, both on the pitch as well as off it. Sometimes it is harder than they imagined it would be: their practice balls disappear, some of the team’s players are hooked on marihuana, the other teams’ fans shout at them to get a job…

But as far as the football competition rankings are concerned, the team continues going up. Will the team succeed and move up to a higher level of the football league, thus proving to everyone that they are not aggressive bullies but that they simply want to play football?
