Before the FIFA series as we know it today became such, the games were initially going to be called "EA Soccer". However, it was subsequently re-branded as "FIFA International Soccer" so that EA could sell the games more successfully in Europe and also after assuming the American's would have no interest. Which is a good thing, really, or else we'd all be buying the clumsily-named "EA Soccer 14" right now. The first ever game in the series only included international teams and no clubs were featured, which is remarkable when you consider how club-centric the FIFA series is today. As an interesting aside, International Soccer broke with the traditional 16-bit era games by presenting an isometric view, while most games at the time were still using the traditional top-down view. And EA have continued pushing the boundaries ever since.
