The two countries were chosen as [[FIFA World Cup hosts#2002 FIFA World Cup|hosts]] by [[FIFA]] in May 1996. For the first time in its history, the World Cup was organized by two countries. It was also the first World Cup held in [[Asia]]. [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] won the tournament for a record fifth time, beating [[German national football team|Germany]] 2–0 in the final.

[[Image:2002 world cup.png|thumb|left|350px|Qualifying countries]]
A total of 199 teams attempted to qualify for the 2002 World Cup which qualification process began with the preliminary draw in 1999. Defending [[1998 FIFA World Cup|World Champions]] [[France national football team|France]] and co-hosts [[Korea Republic national football team|Republic of Korea (South Korea)]] and [[Japan national football team|Japan]] automatically qualified and did not have to play any qualification matches. (This was the last time that the defending champions automatically qualified).
Thirteen places were contested by [[UEFA]] teams (Europe), five by [[Confederation of African Football|CAF]] teams (Africa), four by [[CONMEBOL]] teams (South America), four by [[Asian Football Confederation|AFC]] teams (Asia), and three by [[CONCACAF]] teams (North and Central America and Caribbean). The remaining two places were decided by playoffs between AFC and CONCACAF and between CONMEBOL and [[Oceania Football Confederation|OFC]] (Oceania). Four nations qualified for the finals for the first time: [[China national football team|China]], [[Ecuador national football team|Ecuador]], [[Senegal national football team|Senegal]], and [[Slovenia national football team|Slovenia]].

On [[1 December]] [[2001]] the draw was held and the group assignments and order of fixtures were determined. Group F was considered the [[group of death]], as it brought together Argentina, England, Nigeria and Sweden.
==Summary==
===First round===
The World Cup started with a shock 1-0 defeat of defending champions [[France national football team|France]], playing without the injured [[Zinedine Zidane]], by tournament newcomers [[Senegal national football team|Senegal]] in the tournament's opening match held in [[Seoul]], Korea. In their second Group A game, France were held to a goalless draw by [[Uruguay national football team|Uruguay]] after star striker Thierry Henry was sent off. A 2-0 defeat by Denmark in their last group game sealed France's fate. The world champions went out of the Cup without even managing to score a goal and earned the unwanted record of the worst World Cup performance by a defending champion. An impressive [[Denmark national football team|Denmark]] won the group, joined by Senegal to move on to the next round. Senegal drew with Denmark and Uruguay to clinch its place in the second round. Despite coming back from 0-3 to tie Senegal in their last group game, the South Americans couldn't find the fourth goal that might have kept them in the Cup and thus were out of the tournament.
[[Spain national football team|Spain]] became one of only two teams to pick up maximum points in the Group B, seeing off both [[Paraguay national football team|Paraguay]] and [[Slovenia national football team|Slovenia]] 3-1 before beating [[South Africa national football team|South Africa]] 3-2. Paraguay needed a late goal against another newcomer, Slovenia, to tie South Africa on goal difference (they were already tied on points) and move to the second round on the next tiebreaker, goals scored.
The other team to win all their group games was [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] in Group C. Turkey advanced to the next round, too, beating [[Costa Rica national football team|Costa Rica]] on goal difference. [[China national football team|China]], coached by [[Bora Milutinović]] (the fifth national team he coached in five consecutive World Cups), failed to get a point or even score a goal.
Group D saw several surprises as the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States]] beat [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]], who many had tipped to win the tournament, 3-2. Then, goalkeeping by [[Brad Friedel]] earned the Americans a 1-1 draw with [[Korea Republic national football team|South Korea]]. South Korea, already assured of advancing after topping [[Poland national football team|Poland]] 2-0, beat Portugal to send the Europeans home and also give the United States a ticket into the second round, despite losing to Poland in the 3rd match.
[[Germany national football team|Germany]] thrashed [[Saudi Arabia national football team|Saudi Arabia]] 8-0 in Group E thanks to three goals from [[Miroslav Klose]]. [[Republic of Ireland national football team|Ireland]] were playing without ex-captain [[Roy Keane]], [[2002 Roy Keane Saipan incident|sent home days before the World Cup]], but led by his unrelated namesake [[Robbie Keane|Robbie]] claimed second place at the expense of [[2002 African Nations Cup|African champions]] [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]].
Other than France's failures, the biggest shock of the tournament came in the ''Group of Death'', Group F as pre-tournament favorites [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] failed to move out of the group. A loss to [[England national football team|England]] 1-0 on a [[David Beckham]] penalty and a subsequent draw with [[Sweden national football team|Sweden]] kept the South Americans from advancing. The Scandinavians won the group, with England also going through. [[Nigeria national football team|Nigeria]] finished last.
In Group G, [[Italy national football team|Italy]], [[Croatia national football team|Croatia]], and [[Ecuador national football team|Ecuador]] all beat each other once. But the Italians' draw against group winners [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]], while the other two lost to the North Americans, gave the three-time World Cup champions second place in the group. Ecuador could still enjoy a victory on their first World Cup, beating Croatia 1-0.
Co-hosts [[Japan national football team|Japan]] breezed through Group H, joined by [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]]. [[Russia national football team|Russia]] and [[Tunisia national football team|Tunisia]] were two of the disappointments of the tournament, in what was considered the weakest group of the tournament.
[[Image:WorldCup2002poster.jpg|thumb|left|upright|The official 2002 FIFA World Cup poster.]]
===Second round and quarter-finals===
In the second round, Germany beat Paraguay 1-0 on a late goal by [[Oliver Neuville]] in a tense, defense-dominated encounter while England thrashed previously-impressive Denmark 3-0. In the Spain-Ireland match, the two teams drew 1-1 and penalties gave Spain a place in the quarterfinals. Sweden and Senegal had a 1-1 match and it took a [[Golden goal]] from [[Henri Camara]] in extra time to settle the game. The United States won over Mexico 2-0 behind the goals of [[Brian McBride]] and [[Landon Donovan]]. Brazil defeated a surprising Belgium 2-0, while Turkey ended co-hosts Japan's run with a 1-0 win. The other co-hosts, South Korea, beat Italy on a golden goal, 2-1. South Korea's win ensured that, for the very first time in the Cup's history, teams from each of Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and Asia reached the quarter-finals.
In the quarter-finals, [[Ronaldinho]]'s free kick sailed over the stunned [[David Seaman]] as Brazil beat England 2-1. The United States lost to Germany 1-0 by a [[Michael Ballack]] goal. They demanded the referee give a penalty for a goal-line hand ball by [[Torsten Frings]], but to no avail. South Korea got another win, beating Spain on penalties after a 0-0 draw, becoming the first Asian team to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup, eclipsing the record of their [[Korea DPR national football team|North Korean counterparts]] when they reached the quarter-finals in [[1966 FIFA World Cup|1966]]. There was much controversy over South Korea's second round and quarter-final victories being the results of match fixing scandals.<ref>{{cite news |title=Italy Were Not Cheated In 2002 – Infamous Referee Moreno |url=http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=600144 |publisher=Goal.com |date=[[2008-02-26]] |accessdate=2008-03-09 }}</ref> However complaints were dismissed and the victories stood. Turkey continued their remarkable run, stopping Senegal's own with a 1-0 golden goal victory.
===Semi-finals, third-place match, and final===
The semi-finals saw two 1-0 games; first, Ballack's goal was enough for Germany to top South Korea. However, Ballack received a yellow card during the match, which forced him to miss the final based on accumulated yellow cards. [[Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima|Ronaldo]] scored his sixth of the competition for Brazil, who beat Turkey 1-0 in a replay of their Group C encounter. In the third-place match, Turkey beat the South Koreans 3-2 in a very spirited match for third place, their first goal coming from [[Hakan Şükür]] straight from the opening kickoff, the fastest ever in World Cup history.
In the final match held in [[Yokohama]], Japan, two goals from [[Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima|Ronaldo]] secured the World Cup for [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] as they claimed victory over [[German national football team|Germany]]. Ronaldo scored twice in the second half and, after the game, won the [[FIFA World Cup awards|Golden Boot]] award for the tournament's leading scorer with eight goals. This was the fifth time Brazil had won the World Cup, cementing their status as the most successful national team in the history of the competition. Brazil's captain [[Cafu]], who became the first player to appear in three successive World Cup finals, accepted the trophy on behalf of the team.

====Round of 16====
[[Germany national football team|Germany]] eliminated [[Paraguay national football team|Paraguay]] through an 88th-minute winner from [[Oliver Neuville]]. [[England national football team|England]] breezed past [[Denmark national football team|the Danes]] with a 3–0 win, while [[Henri Camara]] scored the [[golden goal]] that put [[Senegal national football team|Senegal]] through to the quarter-finals at [[Sweden national football team|Sweden]]'s expense. [[Spain national football team|Spain]] eliminated [[Republic of Ireland national football team|Ireland]] on penalties after a tense match, in which Robbie Keane levelled the scores with a penalty, just as Spain looked like they would be going through in normal time. In the [[CONCACAF|North American]] derby, the [[United States men's national soccer team|USA]] defeated [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]] 2-0 to set up a quarter-final tie with Germany. [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] defeated [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]] 2-0 (after the referee had controversially disallowed a goal for Belgium when the score was still 0-0) and [[Turkey national football team|Turkey]] ended the journey of hosts [[Japan national football team|Japan]]. In an echo of [[Korea DPR national football team|North Korea]]'s victory over [[Italy national football team|Italy]] in [[1966 FIFA World Cup|1966]], [[Korea Republic national football team|South Korea]] defeated the Azzurri, with a golden goal from [[Perugia Calcio|Perugia]]'s [[Ahn Jung-Hwan]]. After the game, Ahn was told by Perugia's president, [[Luciano Gaucci]], that he would never play for the club again, only for Gaucci to have a change of heart the following day.

{{main|2002 FIFA World Cup Final}}
Two goals from [[Ronaldo]] in the final were enough to see [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] crowned world champions for the fifth time and [[Germany national football team|Germany]] made runners-up for the fourth time. The first goal occurred when Germany goalkeeper, [[Oliver Kahn]], failed to deal with a long-range shot from [[Rivaldo]], spilling the ball directly into Ronaldo's path. The two worked together again on the second goal when Rivaldo stepped over a square ball from [[José Kléberson|Kléberson]], allowing Ronaldo to side-foot it home from the edge of the box.
