Pro Evolution Soccer 2 (known as World Soccer: Winning Eleven 6 in Japan and World Soccer: Winning Eleven 6 International in North America) is the second installment of Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer football video game series. The Japanese and North American versions were succeeded by two updates: Winning Eleven 6 International and Winning Eleven 6 Final Evolution. It was the last game of the series released in Europe for PlayStation and It was the first in the series which was released on the Nintendo GameCube, though it was the Final Evolution update, and in Japan only. Opening theme for this game is We Will Rock You by Queen. This opening theme also featured in Pro Evolution Soccer 2016.

Japan national football team is the only fully licensed team in game, though some teams have real player names. Also there are Japanese commentators: Jon Kabira and Tetsuo Nakanishi

The PlayStation 2 version received "universal acclaim" in both regions according to video game review aggregator Metacritic. In Japan, Famitsu gave both the original and Final Evolution versions a score of 36 out of 40, and the J.League version 34 out of 40, all for the same console version.
