The game encapsulates the basic essence of soccer, allowing players to experience the sport digitally. In "Champion Soccer," players control a team and compete against either AI-controlled teams or another player in head-to-head matches. The gameplay includes basic soccer mechanics such as passing, shooting, and goalkeeping, providing a straightforward yet engaging simulation of the sport suitable for the hardware limitations of the time.

Significantly, "Champion Soccer" was among the earlier attempts to capture the dynamic and globally beloved sport of soccer in a home video gaming format, setting a foundational stone for future soccer video games. The game featured simple graphics, typical of the period, and utilized a top-down perspective, which was common in sports games from the early 80s. Despite its basic visual presentation and simple controls, "Champion Soccer" was part of a broader movement within the gaming industry towards sports-themed titles, which became hugely popular. Its release on the SG-1000 also highlights the early days of Sega’s efforts in carving out a niche for itself in the competitive gaming market, making it an important part of video game history.
