no matter where we come from.... i read in the comments below we all feel the same looking videos of our childhood videogames.... it could seem a stupid videogame but we were so youung and that were special years that won't come back anymore..only for a little looking stuff like this..... ps . sorry foor my english.. i am italian...
you are so right! And I think that's why many of us still play games even as grown ups, because in a way we want to live again inside our mind those chidhood memories.
Yes ...but most of todays games are not like pur childhood ones.... The first metal gear solid had a more deep story than the lasts..... And i had ISS pro for play 1.. the fun we had playing it,during 98world cup,dreaming that one day we would have same success of the players,doing something big in front of million of people... I cudn't feel like that with no otheer game..or may se were only differenti...more young, less problems..... And that was the Year i finished first school so no holiday homework,all summer free...my best childhood summer..... :'(
Lorenzo Sommo I agree. Im from Brazil. Those times were special. I dreamed about playing for Brazil, not for money, like the players do nowadays, but for a dream to be in a world cup. Happy childhood...
very nice... instead i am trying to get in ufc... i train very hard in bjj mma kickboxe wrestling muay thai....childhood and everything for me doesn't exist anymore... training all my free time is so hard.. jose alldo is a brazilian fighter very good!!! parabens pra vocè!! abraços!!
Dude, I'm from Argentina and have the same memories! We watched the games on the school library (where was the only TV). In those years Netherlands was scary AF, and as argentina wasn't at its best.
The chant that begins at 0:45... it's something special. Something that only true football fans will ever know. There is nothing in this world quite like going to a game and acting like a hooligan with your mates chanting whatever nonsense you can think of while they chase a ball around. Nothing I tell ya.
Nostalgia is CRAZY. this gives me goosebumps from all the good times back then. the fun music, the friends coming over to play, the girls I had crushes on, the early days of the internet etc etc...Today I am successful, have a dream wife and we travel the world together making good money, but listening to this makes me wish I was back to those good old days. It's like I'm not as happy now as I was back then - but that's an illusion, we're doing all right folks. It's just that being young only happens once and it's normal to miss it.
To me this is still the best FIFA Intro ever!!! It has been the only intro so far i never skipped - still get goose bumps when i watch this!!! All Time Classic!!!
The fact that a Romanian player is the one that opens the video and that the Romanian team used to get to the finals in the game speaks volume about the quality of the team we used to have and the respect the creators of the game had for us. Thank you!
Man I first played this game on the first PC we ever bought in 2000. I was 7 and I understood no English. This intro together with the music has stuck so firmly in my mind that after 16 years when I came by the song, 'Tubthumping' unexpectedly, I instantaneously felt the tune familiar. I was surprised that the impression was so strong. So I checked the FIFA 98's soundtracks and then I was brought here. Thanks for uploading this clip!
I was 9/10 when FIFA98 came out and also FIFA 98 was the peak of fifa. The 5 a side was one of the best modes. The players of that year were all superstars. And it was the year I became a football fan.
I remember being a kid in my big brothers room playing his games while he was at work. This is one of the songs ill never forget, along with that bird haha. RIP Keefer I miss you everyday. Thanks for the video @Rheinmetall
wow, the memories! I played the hell out of Road To World Cup 98, I took my home land of Malta to the World Cup on the hardest level, then spent all winter (European Summer) playing World Cup 98. For it's time it was an amazing game.
Matthew Caligari I used to play this a lot. Won multiple times with France, Brazil, Germany and many more. I won twice with my home country, Belgium. I even won once with the worst team in the game ,China. I really want to play this game again.
To all who share this moment when were kids with no worries just waiting to finish school to go back and play Sega or ps... It was a special time in our life that our kids will never feel it..... I remembered when I was saving money to offered one game and play with my brother and friends
Per me, la sigla di Francia 98 è questa. Il primo campionato del mondo che ho iniziato a seguire. Di questo mondiale avevo anche il videogioco. Poi non ho più preso altri videogiochi ispirati ai mondiali degli anni successivi, anche perché per stare al passo avrei dovuto comprarne uno nuovo ogni quattro anni. Improponibile. Questo è stato il primo e mi bastava. Opinione personale. La penso così.
loved everyone and all the comments which come from the heart and take back in those days where i guess we were more alive then ever after....thank u all for bring back the beautiful memories !
My stepfather played so much with this game when I was young.. I miss those those days when my only problem was that when I can go back to home and play this game or the others ... :(
me salio una lagrimita de la nostalgia :'D enormeeeeee el primer juego de fut que tuve en la ps1 el primero de fut que tuve fue el international pero este juego me encantaba por el intro
In this game... You could choose the personal selection of the national team you wanted to create on your own, because they made available an optional list with all the pro football players from your country in alphabetic order. You could choose by that, which players include on the national team roster you did play in the world cup, and in the same time which players cut off from the team !!! Is there anyone who does Remember?
Rebought this tonight so I can play it with my son. This was my first football game and still remember by love of it, alongside watching England in the cup for the first time.

+Rheinmetall1 I total agree with you...we all miss the 80-90 years...
1998, my favorite year ❤
This game is my childhood 😍
Unforgettable intro 🥰
My favorite year too i wish I could go back 😞
Just wish that they put the EA sports in the beginning
This was my first videogame EVER, this song made me cry.....
Same here, a tear dropped.
So 1vs1 or not?
😢 nostalgy
I think it was my first game, I was 6 years old. I had older brothers so the second game I owned was the first GTA game.
Song= I get knocked down
Still one of my favorite video games at 39 yrs old
FIFA 98 RTWC and France 98 are the best intros of any football games. Nostalgia hits hard
my childhood =(
Best world cup ever, i live in Netherlands so the school stopped early fof everyone watching Argentina vs Netherlands, was such a epic moment❤️
That World Cup was WONDERFUL!!!
Of de gelijkmaker van kluivert tegen Brazilië. Wat een tijden
I’m from Saudi I was supporting Netherlands since that tournament 🥹
Dude, I'm from Argentina and have the same memories! We watched the games on the school library (where was the only TV). In those years Netherlands was scary AF, and as argentina wasn't at its best.
The nostalgia hits hard. Everytime i listen to this song I remember Zidane and his rise to stardom.
The first and last football game i ever liked!
That's pathetic.
Liquid Snake
Same here, brother 👍
Same.
Wait, LIQUIIIIID
My 2nd and favorite fifa
PES 6?
best intro ever!
+Lucas DA like "song 2" in fifa 98
This along with Fifa 04
@@Thehulksterbeast yeah!
At last after 23 years i came back to this nostalgic song. First football game ever play in my life 🙂
23 years??? Jesus!!! It feels just like it was yesterday ⚽
Nostalgia pura , recuerdo ser un niño y jugar por horas con mi tío , tanto en Play Station one & Nintendo 64 France 98 . ❤
This is my childhood, not gonna lie, I'm tearing 😭👍
Big facts
The chant that begins at 0:45... it's something special. Something that only true football fans will ever know. There is nothing in this world quite like going to a game and acting like a hooligan with your mates chanting whatever nonsense you can think of while they chase a ball around. Nothing I tell ya.
Speaking of, who won the cup in '98?
France
Nostalgia is CRAZY. this gives me goosebumps from all the good times back then. the fun music, the friends coming over to play, the girls I had crushes on, the early days of the internet etc etc...Today I am successful, have a dream wife and we travel the world together making good money, but listening to this makes me wish I was back to those good old days.

처음 구매하여 시디를 넣고 플레이 해서 마주한 인트로 정말 잊을 수 없었던 노래와 영상이였다
Nostalgia!!!
Total
Grandes recuerdos
does not matter where we are from everyone has the same feelings.this music makes me very sad.i miss the old times. greetings from turkey
Masterpiece ever. The best intro ever until now 2023. Great
Concordo....
I loved the Easter egg that if you won the World Cup you could replay all the historic finals with Eddie Wolstenholme commentating on them.
OMG, best moments in my life,i was the first one to get a computer in family..and my cousin used to come along to play this game together ..
same here,
it was my cousin who is now livinig in europe who came to me to play this game with me on playstation one
Corría el verano del 98 y que feliz heramos, 8 años tenía entonces y tengo recuerdos de ese mundial
FIFA needs to have this song played on every world cup opening and final!!!!
How much love there was still in this game back then, and that in 1998. In 2024 you will only be served garbage every year with endless game errors.
Soy de la época donde Rumania era una alta selección, cuan viejos estamos :(
Hai România!!!
Ciga Hagi
World Cup 98 and Euro 2000 are two EA franchise that introduced me to this very great sport...
The fact that a Romanian player is the one that opens the video and that the Romanian team used to get to the finals in the game speaks volume about the quality of the team we used to have and the respect the creators of the game had for us. Thank you!
Argentina always !!
you made a good run in 94'
Man I first played this game on the first PC we ever bought in 2000. I was 7 and I understood no English. This intro together with the music has stuck so firmly in my mind that after 16 years when I came by the song, 'Tubthumping' unexpectedly, I instantaneously felt the tune familiar. I was surprised that the impression was so strong. So I checked the FIFA 98's soundtracks and then I was brought here. Thanks for uploading this clip!
The intro is a homage to the match between Romania and Argentina from the previous World Cup 1994 - probably the best world cup football match ever.
Maybe the best game from 94 World Cup (Brazil 3 x 2 Netherlands ???), but there were better games in other World Cups.
Ciga hagi was legend in that match. 2 asissts 1 goal
i'm crying :(
Me too man (
Igual, me trae tantos recuerdos
cheer up dude! you've so many good things now too, enjoy them but not forget where we all come from, the 90s!!
Crying? For what?
My first football game, this song brings me back a lot of memories, awesome game!
Better intro than FIFA video games nowdays
I was 9/10 when FIFA98 came out and also FIFA 98 was the peak of fifa. The 5 a side was one of the best modes. The players of that year were all superstars. And it was the year I became a football fan.
Football was so awesome and it’s peak in 1998 . As was life . The attitude the people the togetherness. Hey kids this is how it was done
Great memories playing this game as kid! Loved the intro.
I remember being a kid in my big brothers room playing his games while he was at work. This is one of the songs ill never forget, along with that bird haha. RIP Keefer I miss you everyday.
Thanks for the video @Rheinmetall
If i remember correctly, it's a chicken 😄
That was the first good intro I ever seen, Never skipped it. 😍😍
For me the best World Cup I’ve seen with the best game as well. It reminds me good times!
Footix was the GOAT World Cup mascot 🫡💯
this whole video intro reminds me of high school days, playing FIFA with my friends, this game is awesome and a classic
Nostalgia portami via! From italy still today, after 25 years is the best intro for a game. "I get knocked down!!"
The best intro in all FIFA
The most incredible soundtrack football game in my opinion
Mi primer juego de futbol, y mi primer consola PS1 :')
my childhood.I'm really feeling when I see this... From Turkey
Passati 19 anni..lo conservo ancora!!♥
wow, the memories!
I played the hell out of Road To World Cup 98, I took my home land of Malta to the World Cup on the hardest level, then spent all winter (European Summer) playing World Cup 98. For it's time it was an amazing game.

@@yann1ck666 You must of played in amateur mode lol . If you played professional level, that would nt of been that easy
I remember turning my PS1 on just to play this game, and pressing reset just to see this video over and over again
لكاميرا
I was 18 years old at the time I hope those beautiful days will come back
Abertura maravilhosa! Estava muito à frente do seu tempo...Sdds...
OMG OMG, TIME FUCK WITH ME, SO MEMORIES...

I remember playing this game back then, so much good memories.
Che pezzo! Ancora suona .. tanta nostalgia
Aver Aver Aver Aver Que No Puedes Hablar Español O Que
I was born in 93 but when I hear this intro of this song, I feel like I was born in 2000
Saudades desse tempo em que gráficos não era tudo....emoção pura !!!
Joguei muito esse game
Foi o meu primeiro fifa rsrs jogava muito mal kkk so fui aprender mesmo no fifa 99
This one goes straight for the feelings! Damn, the memories...
I never skipped the intro when played this game ⚽️ ❤
0:34 - 0:36 i wonder if anyone selling their house mensioned that there house appeared in a video game to get more money
It was the first FIFA game I played when I was a kid.
Argentina and Romania were de main countries of this intro. Kinda weird but awsome too.
How could I not crying over this ? This is my first soccer game 😭😭😭 I played like 10 hours per day 🤣😂🤣😂
To all who share this moment when were kids with no worries just waiting to finish school to go back and play Sega or ps... It was a special time in our life that our kids will never feel it..... I remembered when I was saving money to offered one game and play with my brother and friends
I like it SO MUCH!

Essa abertura no PS1 foi sensacional, muito bem elaborada
Vdd...tava à frente do seu tempo...
Romania was so present in this intro... So present that from 98 unitl now, this was our last World Cup appearance 😪

❤🇨🇵🇦🇷 le classique
Despite I'm not a football person at all, I always remember this intro and this banger of a tune when I a little boy 😊
Good memories when i was a child
My stepfather played so much with this game when I was young.. I miss those those days when my only problem was that when I can go back to home and play this game or the others ... :(
