The briefing

About this game

Champions World Class Soccer is a soccer game built around 32 national teams, each rated for speed, offense, and defense. Players can choose different formations and compete in exhibition matches, full tournaments, or two-player exhibition games.

Matches use a slightly tilted third-person side perspective and feature basic passing, shooting, tackling, and player switching. Optional rules include fouls and offside, while adjustable half lengths, a radar, and a mini-map provide additional match controls. Tournament progress can be continued with a password system.
