Unlike other soccer simulators, Tecmo Cup Football Game plays more like a role-playing video game. A similar game was released a year before for the Nintendo Entertainment System under the title Tecmo Cup Soccer Game, which was also released in Europe as Tecmo Cup Football Game.

The game greatly resembles the Captain Tsubasa series and games in appearance of characters and gameplay. There is a ROM of this game available on the Internet despite not having been released in cartridge form. 'SuperJuegos' magazine from Spain even had a VHS promotion video including footage of the game and promoting its further release. The game would have enjoyed a Europe-exclusive release because the game was heavily promoted on many magazines and promo videos at the time. While the game was about to be published by Sega with license from Tecmo for the Mega Drive/Genesis, it was cancelled due to the release department of Sega Europe's policy regarding third party games (along with many other games, most of them that already had a Japanese release, like Splatterhouse 3 or Golden Axe III).
