by Simon Mar 21,2025

Retro Soccer 96 delivers a stylized, straightforward football simulation experience to mobile devices. Enjoy diverse teams with skill levels mirroring real-world historical data. Compete in a ten-year journey through World Cup and Euro Tournament matchups.

While many in the US might still be recovering from Super Bowl festivities, the rest of the world is focusing on a different kind of football! For fans of the beautiful game, Retro Soccer 96, now available on Google Play, is a must-try.

Don't let its unassuming visuals fool you; Retro Soccer 96 boasts surprisingly deep gameplay and a focus on pure football fun. Simple controls belie the ability to execute slides, tackles, diving headers, curving shots, and other advanced maneuvers, letting you play like a pro.

Despite its retro Simple Soccer theme, Retro Soccer 96 isn't simplistic. Experience World Cup and Euro Tournament matches spanning 1986 to 1996, create custom cups, leagues, or friendlies, and enjoy varied team skill levels based on real-world statistics.

Simply football

Retro Soccer 96 successfully captures the essence of classic soccer simulation with a stripped-down approach. This, and other retro football titles, reflect a growing desire for simpler times in gaming, a return to the core numbers-driven experience of football simulation. The current emphasis on flashy graphics, big-name teams, and other embellishments sometimes overshadows the fundamental aspects of the sport. Retro Soccer 96 offers a refreshing alternative for those seeking a more authentic experience.
