The main roles of Gerd Müller, Sepp Maier, Franz Beckenbauer, Paul Breitner and Uli Hoeneß are not cast in this way, but: The agency Eick (“Babylon Berlin”) is looking for European-looking football players between the ages of 18 and 32 who want their Impersonate teammates and opponents in different teams.

In addition, more than 1,500 extras are wanted for roles such as military police, referees, spectators, stewardesses and nannies. The footballers will have up to 20 days of shooting in NRW and Bavaria. Before the day of shooting, there will be a costume and make-up rehearsal in Cologne.
