Play World Cup Soccer Online

World Cup Soccer is a football simulation game released in 1989 for the MS-DOS platform. Developed by Novotrade Software Kft. and published by Virgin Games, Inc., it is a sports title centered on international football competition. The game allows players to engage in either a full tournament structure or individual friendly matches.

Players control a national football team, with the primary objective being to win matches and ultimately the tournament. The game supports up to eight human participants in its tournament mode. Progression is match-based, moving through a bracket system to a final. Key gameplay systems include on-field player control for passing and shooting, management of set pieces using a movable aiming reticle, and configurable match settings. Players can adjust options such as match length and select from three predefined skill levels before playing.

The match is presented from a top-down perspective during general play, which shifts to a closer three-dimensional view when the ball approaches either goal. The ball physics are designed to remain generally attached to a player's foot during dribbling. Audio options allow players to choose between sound effects, music, or both, depending on the specific version of the game.
