Both are sports series about a young student at an unremarkable school who joins a sports team despite having limited talent for it and, through hard work, becomes a highly capable integral member of the team under the guidance of several upperclassmen of varied temperament and alongside his teammates and friends.

Football! Group of characters with a passion for football go against other teams on the football pitch! Drama here, fights there and with their ups and downs!

Although the sport is different, one is about basketball and one is about soccer, they have similar themes of never give up. Both have an eternally optimistic main character who inspires their teams to greater feats.

Well, they're both wonderful soccer manga and the main characters are pretty similar, especially in their determination to reach their goal. Though one difference is that Teppei (Fantasista) already starts out as a very good, talented if unexperienced player, whereas Sho (Whistle) has to prove himself and work hard before he's acknowledged as a skilled member of the team.

Both are light-hearted sport manga where main character is little too short and considered to be not a worthy opponent. Yet they have something that a lot of other players do not have. Both series have those ''wow'' effects where players do something cool and unexpected + teamplays and likeable characters :P Haikyuu is volleyball and Whistle is football themed.

it is also about soccer

Giant Killing is a soccer manga same with Whistle and what makes them similar is how a weak team gets to play the strongest team. It's a must read.

Well although Get Love!! is a shoujo/romance.. both of the manga are have soccer in it. Also involves a short guy who is constantly somewhat teased. He also never gives up and always tries his best to cover up the fact that he is shorter than other players. Yuki really remind me of Sho, they both look kind of alike and their attitudes.

Both are about a player who ditches a school known for its excellent sports team in favour of one that will let him have fun playing.

reportRecommended by aisoka
Both series sport a protagonist who starts off with little skill at his game/sport of choice but comes to develop at a rapid pace due to both guidance from those around him and innate natural ability. 
reportRecommended by lithiumflower
Both are shounen sport-y type manga that involve striving to the top. While Ryoma is a bit smarmy, and Sho has to work a bit harder than the average person to meet his goals, both have that same electric thrum to the series that makes you unable to stop reading. 
reportRecommended by Anaraine
Both series are about a perpetual benchwarmer who tries to get a fresh start at his new school and take the opportunity to develop his athletic abilities with the help of his natural talent.
