Actua Soccer 3, the final installment in the series for the Nintendo 64, was released in late 1998. Notably, it featured both club and national teams for the first time, alongside other teams like Arsenal LFC and various joke teams. Addressing criticism of its predecessor's lack of club teams, Actua Soccer 3 boasted 25 leagues with 450 national and international teams, exceeding most games of the time except Sensible World of Soccer, and included over 10,000 players. The graphics were enhanced with a slightly improved version of the Actua Soccer 2 engine, showcasing improved weather effects. Martin O'Neill took over from Trevor Brooking as Barry Davies' commentary partner. Robbie Williams' "Let Me Entertain You" was the sole in-game soundtrack, while the classical operatic theme Cavalleria Rusticana (Rustic Chivalry) by Pietro Mascagni played during the game's intro video.
