I'm currently having a great time with my new Logitech Wingman Formula Force Steering Wheel. It's great fun! In between all this fun I've managed to find time to add Jochen Tree's latest global roster update to the Downloads section.

>> 5:30 p.m.
I am currently looking for a professional HTML designer who has time on his/her hands to run the FIFA 99 Online Downloads section. If you are interested please contact Matt Holme at downloads@fifa99.net. I repeat, you must be a qualified page designer and preferably speak English as your first language.

>> 10:51 a.m.
As promised, the English Premiership Kit Pack has been added to the Downloads section. If you are from England (btw you were lucky to win the cricket :) then this add-on is for you.

Return to this site later today for a new collection of files.

Be here tomorrow for the release of the English Premiership Jersey add-on in the Downloads section.. It'll feature all the real kits for the Premier English teams plus a Division One League.

The Downloads section has once again been updated. Turkish football fans will be happy to know that new Fenerbahce and Galatasaray kits are now available.

The new webmasters for the translated FIFA 99 Online sites are as follows:
Italian - Sax

Thank you to everyone who nominated. It was a tough choice.

>> 10:02 a.m.
Thank you to everyone who has sent in applications for the translation sites. I'll be viewing them shortly and replying to you all. Because of the magnificent response I have decided to ask ANYONE from ANY country who knows how to create a homepage and would like to translate FIFA 99 Online into their native language to contact me.

Expect a large collection of new files in the Downloads section tonight.

>> 7:45 p.m.
Attention all budding webmasters! The Italian, Turkish and Spanish FIFA 99 Online sites require new webmasters. If you are a capable web page designer and have the time to translate and maintain one of these sites please email me.

Bad news from EA Sports. Today I was notified by an EA Sports representative that there are NO cheats for the PC version of FIFA 99. I am yet to receive any information on the PSX or N64 cheats. Stay tuned.

Two new reviews have been added to the Information section.

Fed up with the sometimes unrealistic speed of FIFA 99? If so then make sure you download the new "Globally Altered DBI's Patch" in the Downloads section. This new patch noticeably slows down the gameplay for a more realistic game of football.

A very large collection of new kits and add-ons has been added to the Downloads section.

A new News Archive section has opened. If you are not a regular visitor to FIFA 99 Online, you will still be able to keep up with all the news by visiting the new page.

A great new set of FIFA 99 3Dfx turfs has been added to the Downloads section. If you only download one FIFA 99 add-on then make sure this is it! The very impressive new update allows you to see snow on the ground as it falls (see left screen shot), while sleet can now be seen splashing on the turf as you play (click here for a screen shot).

Myself and Daniel will be working hard to upload a number of new and exciting files in the next couple of days. Stay tuned for some exciting new add-ons.

If you are receiving any errors while using the great FIFA 99 FSH Flash Editor, make sure you download the new fix from the Downloads section.

Having trouble with FIFA 99? If so, try visiting EA Sports' new FIFA 99 Technical Support Page.

I have also added a number of new server links from which the FIFA 99 Demo can be downloaded from right here.

Special thanx to Daniel Vassallo who maintained the page while I was away. Thanx a lot mate!

Four new Downloads, including the first 3 Updated Kits for FIFA 99, have been added in the Downloads section.

I (Matt Holme) will be away for the next 7 days. Daniel Vassallo will be maintaining this page while I am absent.

It turns out the rumors of EA recalling FIFA 99 in the US were not true.

EA have told me that the FIFA 99 demo will be uploaded any day now. Stay tuned to this site.

Four new and updated leagues have been added to the Downloads section.

EA Sports have informed me that the FIFA 99 Demo is being snail mailed to my residence in a couple of days. It may take up to a week to arrive. As soon as I receive the demo I will post it on this site. You have my word.

Prarie from FIFA Modem Thrill (German Modem League) has put together a large FIFA 99 Poll. Check it out here.

Is your favourite CLUB included in FIFA 99?
YES: 45% NO: 55%
Is your favourite NATIONAL team included in FIFA 99?
YES: 54% NO: 46%

These results will be sent to EA Sports for use in the development of FIFA 2000.
