Reception

The game was met with positive reception, with the exception of the Game Boy Color version, which currently has a score of 47% on GameRankings; the site also gave the PlayStation version 87%, and the PC version 85%. In Japan, where the PlayStation version was ported for release under the name FIFA 2000: Europa League Soccer (FIFA2000 ヨーロッパリーグ・サッカー, FIFA 2000 Yōropa Rīgu Sakkā) on 30 March 2000, Famitsu gave it a score of 28 out of 40.

PlayStation Max awarded a gold rating to the PlayStation version, praising its looks, sound and longevity, although they did criticise the ease with which it was possible to score goals. Official UK PlayStation Magazine went further with their criticism of the gameplay, believing the passing to be "too precise" and it being unrealistically easy to beat defenders. They did praise the level of detail in the game's graphics and the commentary and awarded the game a score of 7/10.
