Olympic Soccer is a video game developed for the 3DO that centers around the soccer tournament of the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta. Despite soccer's relatively minor status in the Olympic context, the game offers players a chance to engage in a virtual representation of the tournament, showcasing teams and athletes competing for gold in an Olympic setting.
While the soccer tournament is often downplayed not only inside the Olympic movement, but also by the soccer-following community, in 1996, by the occasion of the Games of the XXVI Olympiad in Atlanta, US Gold decided to release a game representing the tournament.
