Pro Evolution Soccer 3 (known as World Soccer: Winning Eleven 7 in Japan and World Soccer: Winning Eleven 7 International in North America also in Japan) is a football video game developed and produced by Konami as part of the Pro Evolution Soccer series. It is also the first in the series which was released on Microsoft Windows.

The cover features referee Pierluigi Collina, although rather oddly he doesn't appear in the game.

New features

Licenses

The game does not include any full leagues but 64 clubs from various European countries. 6 clubs are fully licensed, which are the 5 Italian Serie A clubs AC Milan, AS Roma, Juventus, Lazio and Parma and in addition Feyenoord from the Dutch Eredivisie. All other clubs have fictional team names, logos and jerseys. Also player names are fictional, but only if the player is part of an unlicensed national team. Noticeable cases are for example Dutch players (e.g. Von Mistelroum instead of Van Nistelrooy) and German players (e.g. Kalm instead of Kahn).
