FIFA Football 2004 (also known as '''FIFA Soccer 2004''' and commonly abbreviated to '''FIFA 04''') is a video game developed by EA Canada and published by Electronic Arts based around the game of football (soccer). It was released in October 2003 with the tagline "Create Brilliance". FIFA Football 2004 is the eleventh game in the FIFA Series and the eighth to be in 3D . While not adding much to the engine used in FIFA Football 2003 (except some fluidity), the biggest inclusion were secondary divisions, which allowed the player to take lower ranked teams into the top leagues and European matches. Gameplay had a new feature dubbed Off the ball, which required the player to control two players at the same time to execute some plays. The online mode was boasted as the main feature. Another key feature was the Football Fusion, which allowed owners of both FIFA 2004 and TCM 2004 to actually play games from the management sim'. The title sequence was filmed in St James' Park, the home of Newcastle United, with the opening song being Kings of Leon's European hit "Red Morning Light". For true soccer fans who demand official licenses, in-depth game modes, and true-to-life gameplay, FIFA Soccer 2004 is the most complete and authentic soccer experience. The action is deep with advanced levels of player detail and responsiveness. The cover featured Alessandro Del Piero in Juventus colours, Thierry Henry wearing his Arsenal shirt and Ronaldinho dressed in Brazil 's kit.
