Teams & cups

24 national teams

Pick from 24 real national teams, each with a realistic strength rating. The rating is not just cosmetic: a powerhouse like Brazil actually plays faster and moves the ball more sharply, while an underdog is slower — choosing a weaker side is a real challenge, and beating a top seed with one is the ultimate flex.

Game modes

• Quick Match — A single game against a random rival nation
• Euro Cup — European nations only — quarter, semi and final
• World Cup — All 24 nations in a full knockout to the trophy

Cup format

Both cups are single-elimination knockouts — lose once and you are out:

1. Quarter-final — win to advance
2. Semi-final — win to reach the showpiece
3. Final — win to lift the trophy

The Euro Cup features European nations only; the World Cup opens the draw to all 24 teams. For a one-off game with no stakes, play a Quick Match against a random rival.

Picking your team

New players should start with a strong side to enjoy the faster, snappier feel. Once you have the aftertouch and slide timing down, drop to a mid or low-rated nation for a stiffer test on the way to the cup.
