Alan SAIPAN Directed by: Glenn Leyburn, Lisa Barros D’Sa Release Date: 23/01/2026 Genre: Drama, History Synopsis: SAIPAN explores the explosive clash between soccer star Roy Keane and manager Mick McCarthy before the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Their feud, rooted in clashing standards and personalities, erupted on the island of Saipan, shaking the Irish team and nation. As Keane walked out, McCarthy faced chaos. This gripping true story goes beyond sport, it’s a dramatic, often comic tale of leadership, loyalty, and a rivalry that captured global attention.
