About the game
If you're the type who never misses a big match and loves the adrenaline of a packed stadium, Champions 2020 is for you! This game is a direct evolution of the classic StreetSoccer, but with a massive scale upgrade: we're moving from cramped courts to the vast grass of a professional stadium. Your goal is to step into the coach's shoes and manage your squad to achieve glory. Unlike its predecessor, this game offers much smoother gameplay thanks to the updated football rules projected for the future. As a manager, your mission starts with the lineup: you must select your 11 starters—from goalkeeper to forwards—while keeping your bench ready to jump in after the warm-up. The simulation is detailed and can be unpredictable, just like a real match. Your players are elite professionals, which means spectacular plays, anticipatory passes, and incredible saves from the keeper. But it's not all smooth sailing: they are also professional at causing chaos! Get ready to deal with unexpected fouls, yellow and red cards, player injuries, and even the tension of extra time or penalty shootouts. The gameplay involves luck-based movement and actions, mimicking the uncertainty of the pitch. With heavy-hitting teams like Brazil, Argentina, Germany, and the Netherlands, you have the perfect setup for an intense two-player duel. It's the complete tournament experience, featuring stats and all the excitement a major championship demands, all wrapped up in a fast-paced game that won't eat up your entire afternoon.
