Play FIFA 2000 Online

EA Sports released FIFA 2000 for the Game Boy Color in 1999, a time when handheld soccer games were still finding their footing. It was one of the few portable FIFA titles available on the system, offering a condensed version of the console experience with scaled down visuals and simpler mechanics. The game featured national teams and a selection of clubs, though rosters were not fully licensed like in later entries.

You control a team of players on a small, top down field, passing and shooting with responsive but basic controls. The main objective is to score goals and win matches across various tournaments and friendly modes. Signature mechanics include indoor matches with walls that keep the ball in play, creating fast paced, chaotic rebounds, and the inclusion of fictional teams like the THQ Tornados for added variety. The pacing is quick, with matches that rarely drag, though the AI can be unpredictable on higher difficulties. It feels satisfying to string together a few passes and slot one past the keeper, even with the limited view.
