Tecmo Cup Soccer Game (known as Captain Tsubasa in Japan and Tecmo Cup Football Game in Europe) is a video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Released in 1992 by Tecmo, it is a soccer game. In the game you must fight your way from junior league all the way to the finals of World Cup.

Tecmo Cup Soccer Game is a heavily Americanized version of Japanese Captain Tsubasa football (soccer) game released for the Family Computer system, featuring a different main character, a different introduction and more western-looking players. The game contains elements from role-playing games as the players have skill levels and are mostly controlled by different kinds of text commands.

Present-day games with a "career mode" setting would be inspired by this game's setup.
