FIFA 06

FIFA 06 is the Game Boy Advance version of EA Sports' long-running football series, developed by EA's Vancouver studio and released in 2005. As a handheld iteration it condenses the console franchise's league play, licensed teams and quick-match football into a form suited to the GBA's hardware, following the yearly-release pattern that defined the series.

Handheld FIFA entries of this period were necessarily scaled-down takes on their big-screen counterparts, focused on accessible pick-up-and-play matches rather than the deeper presentation of the PlayStation and PC versions. Without firm recollection of this specific edition's particular features I'll keep to that: it's a portable annual football game aimed at fans who wanted the FIFA licence on the go.
