What is left to be said about Saipan that hasn't been said already? Quite a lot, actually, by the looks of it.

Everyone knows this film has been coming for a while and it is edging even closer now following the release of this official trailer.

So without further ado. Steve Coogan is Mick McCarthy. Éanna Hardwicke is Roy Keane.

SAIPAN. The most infamous moment in Irish football history, coming to a cinema screen near you on January 1, 2026 and across Britain on January 23.

Roll the clip.
