Retro Soccer 96 delivers a stylishly simple football simulation experience to your mobile device. Experience diverse teams, each with skill levels meticulously crafted using real-world historical data. Embark on a thrilling journey through iconic World Cup and Euro Tournament matchups spanning a decade, from 1986 to 1996.

While many in the US might still be recovering from Super Bowl festivities, football fans elsewhere are eagerly anticipating a different kind of football action! Retro Soccer 96, now available on Google Play, aims to capture the hearts of classic football enthusiasts.

Don't let its unassuming visuals fool you. Retro Soccer 96 boasts surprisingly deep gameplay, prioritizing the pure fun of football. Despite its simple controls and graphics, you can execute advanced maneuvers like slides, tackles, diving headers, and curling shots, allowing for a surprisingly strategic and engaging experience.

And while themed after the simplicity of classic soccer games, Retro Soccer 96 is far from simplistic. Compete in World Cup and Euro Tournament matches from 1986 to 1996, create custom cups, leagues, or friendlies, and witness the varying skill levels of teams based on accurate historical data.

Retro Soccer 96 successfully captures the essence of classic football simulation. Its simplicity belies a depth that resonates with a desire for a return to the core elements of the sport – a focus on strategy and numbers, rather than overwhelming visuals and licensing.
