The following leagues have been confirmed for FIFA 08. There may be a total of 30 leagues, with all 27 leagues from FIFA 07 included.[2] The only new league officially confirmed was the FAI League of Ireland.[3].

Platforms
Wii
The Wii version of the game will contain many exclusive features and an unique gameplay. Miis will be used in this game and they will have hands, contrary to all previous Mii related games. Also there will be many soccer related minigames. The Nunchuk is used to control a player's body, with the analog stick used to control the direction the player moves; the Z button is used for turbo running and to put spin on the ball once it's kicked. The Wii development team has yet to see if the game can be played with the classic or GameCube controllers, preferring to focus on the main Wii controllers first.
