The series is structured into three perspectives: from the time period of its production (The Winning Call), historical perspectives (Women Against The Tide), and as a chronological study of notable moments in Swedish women's football (Play Seriously). Subjects include the early dominance of Öxabäcks IF in the 1970s and 1980s, the importance of Umeå IK in the 2000s, Sweden winning the first UEFA Women's Championship in 1984, and the UEFA Women's Euro 2013 being played in Sweden.

The documentary series was created by Mattias Löw, Valentina Santi Löw, and Orvar Anklew, and features active and former women's footballers Marta, Lotta Schelin, Kosovare Asllani, Hope Solo, Hanna Ljungberg, Victoria Sandell Svensson, Lena Videkull, and Anette Börjesson; then-Sweden women's national football team Pia Sundhage, former national team manager Marika Domanski-Lyfors, Icelandic manager Elísabet Gunnarsdóttir of Swedish club Kristianstads DFF, and Gunilla Paijkull, the first woman to coach a national football team; former national team goalkeeper Elisabeth Leidinge; and long-time national team manager Thomas Dennerby.
