One Christmas night, 11 children scattered around the world received the same present. Inside were a video and a soccer ball. The video contained a "Fantasista Training Course" from a man calling himself their father, Gold Panther. Gold Panther was trying to impregnate women from soccer powerhouse countries around the world to create 11 powerful soccer players. And the one who received the gift in Japan was a 6-year-old boy named Hagane Zanku who lives in an orphanage. Zanku, now a high school student, is invited to take the entrance test for J1 Ariake Atlantis, but his selfish playing style causes him to fail... Zanku then bows his head to the members of the soccer club with whom he had a big fight in the past, and joins the club, starting out with odd jobs.
