## Gameplay

There is an exhibition mode, training mode, and two different kinds of cup (tournament) modes.[2]

The game starts with a coin toss and the winner chooses to have possession of the football or to choose what side of the field to defend. No club play is possible with national leagues; there are only international teams (except for Kashima Antlers). However, England is excluded along with most other FIFA member nations. Instead of directly controlling the players, the manager/player must choose who must pass the ball to which player, where to shoot the football, where to move the players on the board, and how they should shoot the football.

## Evaluation

Perhaps because the hurdles were too high for beginners and the game's half-hearted use of real names was not well received, sales of this title were poor. For this reason, it is infamous as a “typical throwaway title from the late era of Super Famicom” than for the content of the game itself. One store reported that “new copies were piled up on the wagon for 10 yen.[3][4]

Magazine "GameLab"(ゲームラボ) often referred this game as "Dirt Cheap ZICO(「激安ZICO」)"

Adult game developers would purchase a large number of the game for its cartridge casing and switch the main game to an unofficial game, notable for the use at the game "SM Chioukyou shi Hitomi(SM調教師瞳)" so they did not have to pay license fees to Nintendo, and offered freedom to artistic expression. Because of this, Used copies of "Zico Soccer" sold in Japan, may contamination with the aforementioned adult games inside the cartridges' data instead of actual game.[5]
