Viva Football (known as Viva Soccer in North America, 20 Reiki Striker Retsuden in Japan and Absolute Football in France) is an association football video game released for the PlayStation. It was developed by Crimson Studio and published by Virgin Interactive.
The game features every international team between the 1958 World Cup and the 1998 World Cup, a total of 1035 teams and over 16,000 real life players. Players can choose from friendly mode which allows you to select any team and create your own matchups to play against the computer or a friend, or a History mode which allowed players to participate in any World Cup from 1958 to 1998. They can also play in a Training mode to practise their skills.
There was no commentary in the game. Instead the game featured player chat which the language of the player's speech can be altered in options which included the chance for the players to speak in their own native language.
