Frequently asked questions
Is Whistle1 Retro World Cup Edition free?
Yes. Free to play and ad-free. Optional in-app purchases (scout packs or the database editor, for example) speed some things up, but they are never required.
Can I play offline?
The tournament runs locally on your device. The internet is only needed for optional features such as the leaderboard entry and in-app purchases.
Which languages are supported?
47 languages, among them English, German, Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian.
Straight to the finals or qualifying: what is the difference?
Going straight in starts you in the final tournament. In qualifying you fight through the qualifiers first and then enter the tournament. More about the modes.
Can I choose my team freely?
Yes, from 160 nations, or let the field of 48 be decided by random draw. The groups are then drawn fresh.
Are real player and team names included?
All names can be edited freely; the editor lets you adjust teams, players and ratings yourself. Not an official product of FIFA or any football association.
How does the World Cup Edition differ from the original Whistle1?
The original is a career manager across many seasons. The World Cup Edition concentrates on the tournament of nations, quick to play from the group stage to the final.
