• When the film came about, composer Kyle Eastwood was at a jazz festival in South Africa, so Clint Eastwood sent him to scout around and meet local music groups to see what he could find.
• Movie Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): In the hotel the night before the final match, Pienaar's wife brings him a drink and says "I brought one of your mother's protein drinks". However, her lips do not move.
