"The best console football can get"

Using the same engine with only minor retouches, FIFA Soccer 95 introduced club teams to the series within eight national leagues: Brazil, Germany's Fußball-Bundesliga, Italy's Serie A, Spain's La Liga, England's Premier League, France's Ligue 1, Netherlands' Eredivisie and USA. Most of the leagues had their team lineup based on the 1993-94 season, and the teams, although recognizably real, all still had fictitious players, many names being reused from the previous game. The USA League consists of teams and players from the A-League, the country's second division - subsequent editions would feature "artificial" division one leagues, a feature not corrected until the 2000 edition, when Major League Soccer was included for the first time. In addition, the Brazilian league contained only teams from São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, with the exception of Internacional, who hail from Porto Alegre; it would not be until FIFA 07 that Campeonato Brasileiro represented the country.

The cover player is Erik Thorstvedt (with Alexi Lalas also used on some covers).
