How to play FIFA International Soccer: Championship Edition on Mac

Game summary

FIFA International Soccer: Championship Edition, known in-game and in North America simply as FIFA International Soccer is a Sega Mega-CD football game released as part of Electronic Arts' FIFA series. Despite its potentially confusing title, the game is an upgrade over the original FIFA International Soccer released for the Sega Mega Drive, with sixteen new teams, a CD soundtrack (and crowd chants), updated intros and a licensing deal with Adidas and its Predator boot, leading to new in-game moves (such as the ability to curve shots similar to Sensible Soccer). More modes were added and the computer AI was improved, and the overall pace of play is much quicker than the prior iteration.
First released: Dec 1994

Play FIFA International Soccer: Championship Edition on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play FIFA International Soccer: Championship Edition on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
