About this game

Adidas Championship Football is a top-down soccer game centered on a single championship mode that recreates the structure of the World Cup with randomly drawn groups. It features 24 national teams, and a second player can control another team.

Matches take place on a scrolling field and use an expanded dribbling system inspired by the Kick Off series. Shooting requires holding the button to set power before playing the ball, while tapping the button changes the shot angle.
