Who Made A Small World Cup and What Is in the Cup Menu
Published · Updated · 2 min read
The people behind the game
A Small World Cup is made by Rujo Games, a small studio that signs itself "rujogames" in the game files. The Credits screen on the title menu of the version on this site reads a small world cup 2025 ver 1327, a game by rujogames, and lists:
- Code and graphics: Marco Rossi
- Title song: Waste Toner Box
- Testing: M. Fiordimela and M. Peverelli
The game is built with Construct, a browser game engine, and runs as plain HTML5, so there is nothing to install. The same build also contains notes for versions licensed to Poki, CrazyGames and FreezeNova, plus an Android version. The Android release is listed on Google Play by the developer: A Small World Cup on Google Play.
The Choose Cup menu
The green Choose Cup! button on the title screen opens a grid of tournaments. The 2025 build lists nine of them, plus a tenth tile marked Coming soon...:
- World Cup Classic
- World Cup 2022
- Euro 2024
- Cup America 2024
- Europe Clubs
- Italian Clubs
- English Clubs
- Other Clubs
- Club World Cup 2025
All nine play on this site. Each one has 14 teams, shown as flags with three-letter codes on the team select screen.
Teams in each playable cup
| Cup | Teams |

Your pick changes how your player looks: each team has its own shirt and shorts colours, so Argentina plays in light blue and Brazil in yellow. There are no player ratings or squads to manage.
How it differs from other soccer games here
Many browser soccer games are penalty shootouts or two-button "head soccer" games played with the keyboard. A Small World Cup is played with a single drag, has one player per side, and wraps short matches in a tournament path from the group stage to the final. That makes it quick to pick up on a touch screen, and a whole match fits in a minute or two.
