Sega heeft een deal gesloten met Infogrames.
Infogrames is verantwoordelijk voor UEFA Striker. Nog steeds een van de beste voetbalgames op de Dreamcast.
Aangezien Infogrames de rechten van de UEFA heeft, heeft Sega een deal gesloten, zodat hun eigen game(Sega Worldwide Soccer) nu de officiële licentie kan gebruiken.
UEFA Dream Soccer wordt een spel dat voorkomt uit UEFA Striker en Sega Worldwide Soccer 2001.
En hopelijk pakken ze uit beide games de goede punten en krijgt de Dreamcast eindelijk een TOP voetbal game.
Het werd wel tijd.
