About The Stolen Cup
The Stolen Cup is an intriguing television series that explores a daring plot where an average Argentinean man, Lucho, and his group of friends decide to steal the World Cup Trophy with a noble intention, not for personal gain but for the honour of their country's football prestige. The plot thickens as Argentina faces unexpected disqualification due to a sanction during the qualifiers, which prompts the ordinary group to take an extraordinary step. They plan this daring heist when the treasured Trophy is on a promotional tour in their home country, Argentina.
With Lucho investing all his life savings into experiencing the World Cup with his son, we see a desperate man going to unimaginable lengths to captain a team of misfit friends and work buddies in a mission that seems impossible.
