The first episode of A-Leagues All Access premiered on Thursday night with Melbourne Victory marquee Nani getting the new series off to a star-studded start.
A-Leagues All Access will be a weekly documentary series focused on an individual across the A-Leagues and will peel the curtain back on the competitions like never before.
Based on the premiere episode featuring Nani, fans can expect a high-quality production that genuinely provides a behind-the-scenes look at the A-Leagues.
This first episode focuses on Nani's high-profile arrival in Australia with the former Manchester United star surprised just how well known he was Down Under.
"I thought in Australia people would not recognise me as much. It’s not true," Nani said at the start of the episode.
"Everywhere I go there are people who recognise me, ask for a picture or sign something. That’s nice. It’s part of the game. This makes me feel very happy and comfortable in this city."

Having played regularly alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani is no stranger to the spotlight and shines with a camera on his trail in A-Leagues All Access.
From his friendly banter with coach Tony Popovic to coaching some kids at a local park, the 35-year-old was the perfect person to kickoff the new series.
This debut episode wasn't all about Nani though, with Popovic at one stage jokingly calling out defender Jason Geria for taking his parking spot in one of the lighter moments from the premiere.
Some brilliant footage from the opening round's Big Blue also highlighted how Victory's coaching staff successfully switched Nani's position in the second-half to take advantage of a tiring Diego Caballo as they went on to beat Sydney FC 3-2.
With the A-Leagues looking to build momentum again after a difficult few seasons, A-Leagues All Access looks poised to get the ball rolling with fans given the chance to become invested like never before.
The power of this content can't be understated and supporters already can't wait for more based on this tantalising first taste.
Fantastic production. Well done to all involved. This is world-class and this type of content should be the baseline benchmark for the marketing standards set for the #ALeague competitions #ALeaguemen #ALeaguewomen
