World Cup '98 France: Road to Win (ワールドカップ ’９８フランス ～Ｒｏａｄ ｔｏ Ｗｉｎ～), not to be confused with FIFA Road to World Cup 98 is a football game released for the Sega Saturn.

World Cup '98 France recycles its core engine and much of its content from earlier Sega-published football games, particularly Sega Worldwide Soccer 98.

This is the last Saturn football game whose lineage can be traced back to 1995's Victory Goal. The next game in the series, Sega Worldwide Soccer 2000 was built from the ground-up by Silicon Dreams for the Dreamcast.

Gameplay

Teams

World Cup '98 France: Road to Win contains the 32 national teams that qualified for the 1998 FIFA World Cup. While seemingly licensed by the World Cup event (handled by ISL), it has no license from FIFA, so the stadia and and most of the players are fictional (though "similar" to their real-life counterparts).
