Control 44 national teams in Master League mode, with gameplay focused on accurate passing and ball movement.

World Soccer Winning Eleven for Game Boy Advance was released in 2002; it is a distinct GBA title (also known as Winning Eleven Advance) and not a port of an earlier game, so the original release year is also 2002.

About World Soccer Winning Eleven

World Soccer Winning Eleven for the Game Boy Advance adapts the console series to a handheld format. Its gameplay mechanics are derived from the PlayStation 1 iterations, with a control scheme simplified to four primary buttons. This requires certain advanced actions, like performing a lob, to be executed through combinations such as double-tapping the pass button.

The available modes provide several competition structures, including Friendly matches, League, and Cup tournaments modeled after real-world events. A Master League mode is present, featuring a selection of club teams alongside a broader roster of national sides. Graphically, the player characters are represented as sprites that mimic the animations and appearance of their polygonal counterparts from other versions.

Despite the simplified controls, the title maintains a focus on realistic ball physics and precise passing, core tenets of the larger series. The overall selection includes dozens of national teams, with additional squads accessible through gameplay unlocks.
