世界杯日益臨近，南非的“奶奶足球隊” 也正加緊訓練，實現她們自己的夢想：去美國為榮譽而戰。

這支球隊名為“瓦肯古拉”，按南非北部的宗加語意為奶奶。球隊共有35名女性隊員，年齡在50歲至84歲之間。
The team was founded by community worker Beka Ntsanwisi five years ago to help the older women keep fit and flexible, but the project has been so successful they have set their sights on a trip to the Veterans Cup competition in Lancaster, Michigan。
當地社工貝卡 恩燦維西在五年前組建了這支球隊，以幫助老年婦女健身，并保持身體柔韌性。但球隊運作非常成功，因此她們決心參加美國密歇根州蘭開斯特舉辦的元老杯足球聯賽。
