Prior to LEGO partnering with Silicon Dreams, Data Design Interactive (the developers of Rock Raiders) had been working on a LEGO soccer/football game, LEGO Football 2000. The exact reasons behind DDI's game being canceled are unclear, but Silicon Dreams' history of creating soccer games likely played a role.
Before release, Soccer Mania was titled "LEGO Football" or "LEGO Soccer", but was renamed to remove "LEGO" from the title, much like Island Xtreme Stunts, Drome Racers, and other LEGO games from the era.
Silicon Dreams was working on a sequel, Football Mania 2, before the studio shut down.https://web.archive.org/web/20211028165844/https://rockraidersunited.com/blogs/entry/2571-research-mega-dump/ Another studio, Blitz Games, later attempted creating Football Mania 2 (also known as LEGO Soccer Adventure), but this game was canceled as well.
