World Cup 98 is a licensed game of the 1998 Football World Cup held in France, featuring a tweaked FIFA 98: Road to World Cup engine. All 10 stadiums are accurately designed and all 32 teams feature real names and close "look-a-like" kits. The game includes on-the-fly in-game management with better player positioning AI, faster gameplay, and an editor to change all player information.

The gameplay offers various options, including playing with the groups as determined by the real draw, randomizing or customizing them to the players' liking, and mixing both qualified and additional teams. Winning a trophy unlocks the first of the Classics matches, which are eight final matches in the competition's history.

The game includes other modes such as friendlies, training matches, and practice penalty shootouts, providing a comprehensive soccer gaming experience.
