The '''2002 FIFA World Cup''' was the 17th staging of the [[FIFA World Cup]] which took place from 31 May to 30 June 2002 in [[South Korea]] and [[Japan]].

The '''2002 FIFA World Cup''' was the 17th staging of the [[FIFA World Cup]] which took place from 31 May to 30 June 2002 in [[South Korea]] and [[Japan]]. This world cup set a number of precedents. It was the first World Cup to be held in Asia. No previous World Cup was held on a continent other than Europe or the Americas. It was also the first World Cup to be jointly hosted by more than one nation. Finally, this was the last event to use the [[golden goal]] rule.

==Host selection==

South Korea and Japan were selected as hosts by FIFA on 31 May 1996. Initially, South Korea, Japan, and [[Mexico]] presented three rival bids. FIFA officials brokered a united bid between the two Asian countries shortly before the decision was made, and they were chosen unanimously in preference to Mexico.<ref>{{cite news |last=Jones |first=Grahame L. |date=June 1, 1996 |title=A Political Football Lands in Japan and South Korea |url=http://articles.latimes.com/1996-06-01/sports/sp-10647_1_south-korea |work=[[The Los Angeles Times]] |accessdate=July 22, 2017}}</ref> This was the first (and so far the only) World Cup to be hosted by two countries.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Baxter |first1=Kevin |last2=Haller |first2=Vera |date=April 10, 2017 |title=U.S., Mexico and Canada announce joint World Cup 2026 bid |url=http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-world-cup-bid-us-mexico-20170410-story.html |work=The Los Angeles Times |accessdate=July 22, 2017}}</ref>

At the time the decision was made, Japan had never qualified for a World Cup finals (although the Japanese did subsequently qualify for the 1998 competition). The only other countries to have been awarded a World Cup without previously having competed in a final tournament are Italy in 1934 and Qatar in 2022. (Uruguay hosted the first World Cup in 1930 so there was no prior tournament. They were defending Olympic champions from 1928).

Before the draw, it was arranged that the last three teams in Pot B would be drawn into four groups which did not already contain two European teams and one would be left without a second European team. This was ultimately Group C. No group could contain more than two European teams, no unseeded South American team could be drawn with Brazil or Argentina and no unseeded Asian team could be drawn with South Korea or Japan.
 
France, as holders were automatically placed in Group A, South Korea were placed in Group D and Japan were placed in Group H. One of the two South American seeds (Brazil and Argentina) had to play in a group played in South Korea and the other had to play in a group played in Japan. In Pot C, China had to play in South Korea (either group A, B or C) which meant that the other Asian team in Pot C (Saudi Arabia) had to play in Japan (either group E, F or G). In Pot D, two or three African teams, and one or two CONCACAF teams had to play in either South Korea or Japan.
 
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.
 
===Ranking criteria===
 
If teams were level on points, they were ranked on the following criteria in order:
 
{{quotation|
# Greatest total goal difference in the three group matches
# Greatest number of goals scored in the three group matches
# If teams remained level after those criteria, a mini-group would be formed from those teams, who would be ranked on:
## Most points earned in matches against other teams in the tie
## Greatest goal difference in matches against other teams in the tie
## Greatest number of goals scored in matches against other teams in the tie
# If teams remained level after all these criteria, FIFA would hold a drawing of lots
}}
 
In the original version of the rules for the final tournament, the ranking criteria were in a different order, with head-to-head results taking precedence over total goal difference. The rules were changed to the above in advance of the tournament, but older versions were still available on the FIFA and UEFA websites, causing some confusion among those trying to identify the correct criteria.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ar.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/edition=4395/overview.html |title=كأس العالم كوريا/اليابان 2002 FIFA | date=June 2002 | work=[[FIFA]]}}</ref>
 
==Summary==
 
===First round===
Group A involved the defending champions [[France national football team|France]] take on [[Senegal national football team|Senegal]], [[Uruguay national football team|Uruguay]], and [[Denmark national football team|Denmark]]. The World Cup started with a 1–0 defeat of France, playing without the injured [[Zinedine Zidane]], by tournament newcomers Senegal in the tournament's opening match held in [[Seoul World Cup Stadium|Seoul]], South Korea.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/worldcup2002/hi/matches_wallchart/france_v_senegal/default.stm |title=Senegal stun France |date=31 May 2002 |work= |publisher=BBC Sport |accessdate=27 March 2012 |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/66UEZF93k?url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/worldcup2002/hi/matches_wallchart/france_v_senegal/default.stm |archivedate=27 March 2012 |deadurl=no |df=dmy }}</ref> On the next day, two goals by [[Jon Dahl Tomasson]] gave the Danes a 2–1 victory over Uruguay in [[Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium|Ulsan]].
In the second Group A matches, France were held to a 0–0 draw in [[Busan Asiad Stadium|Busan]] by Uruguay after star striker [[Thierry Henry]] was sent off, while in [[Daegu World Cup Stadium|Daegu]], Denmark and Senegal drew 1–1.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/worldcup2002/hi/matches_wallchart/france_v_uruguay/newsid_1925000/1925345.stm |title=France face anxious wait |date=6 June 2002 |work= |publisher=BBC Sport |accessdate=29 March 2012 |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/66WvPnTV1?url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/worldcup2002/hi/matches_wallchart/france_v_uruguay/newsid_1925000/1925345.stm |archivedate=29 March 2012 |deadurl=no |df=dmy }}</ref>
A 2–0 defeat by Denmark in their last group game in [[Incheon Munhak Stadium|Incheon]] sealed France's elimination in the World Cup.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/we-got-what-we-deserved-says-dejected-vieira-645075.html |title=We got what we deserved, says dejected Vieira |date=12 June 2002 |work= |publisher=Independent (UK) |accessdate=29 March 2012 |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/66WvlSqAE?url=http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/we-got-what-we-deserved-says-dejected-vieira-645075.html |archivedate=29 March 2012 |deadurl=no |df=dmy }}</ref>
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 (in [[1934 FIFA World Cup|1934]] Uruguay refused to defend the title).<ref>{{cite news

In the third-place match in Daegu, Turkey beat the South Koreans 3–2, their first goal coming from [[Hakan Şükür]] straight from the opening kick-off (even though South Korea kicked off) in 10.8 seconds, the fastest ever goal in World Cup history.
 
In the [[2002 FIFA World Cup Final|final match]] held in Yokohama, Japan, two goals from 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 Shoe]] 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 became the only team since Argentina in [[1986 FIFA World Cup|1986]] to win the trophy without needing to win a [[Penalty shootout (association football)|penalty shootout]] at some stage during the knockout phase, and the total number of penalty shootouts (2) was the lowest since the four-round knockout format was introduced in 1986. Brazil also became the first team to win every match at a World Cup Finals since 1970, and set a new record for highest aggregate goal difference (+14) for a World Cup winner. 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.
 
==Ticket sales problem==
The original domestic ticket allocation had fully sold out and the organising committee completed sales of tickets returned from the international allocation by the end of April. However, it was obvious at the opening matches that there were a significant number of empty seats.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://archives.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/worldcup/06/01/probe.tickets/index.html |title=FIFA to probe empty seats |work=CNN.com |publisher=Cable News Network LP |date=1 June 2002 |accessdate=10 August 2013 |first=Andrew |last=Demaria}}</ref> It was gradually revealed that the World Cup Ticketing Bureau (WCTB) still had unsold tickets in its possession. After FIFA agreed to sell this inventory, JAWOC undertook sales over telephone and WCTB handled the internet sales.<ref>[http://www.soccerphile.com/soccerphile/archives/wc2002/ne/espp.html Football News – Empty Seats, Peace and Passion], World Cup Soccer and Global Football Information – Soccerphile</ref> For the second round Japan vs. Turkey match in Miyagi in particular, although it was reported by both parties that all tickets had been sold, some 700 seats remained empty.

Before the draw, it was arranged that the last three teams in Pot B would be drawn into four groups which did not already contain two European teams and one would be left without a second European team. This was ultimately Group C. No group could contain more than two European teams, no unseeded South American team could be drawn with Brazil or Argentina and no unseeded Asian team could be drawn with South Korea or Japan.
 
France, as holders were automatically placed in Group A, South Korea were placed in Group D and Japan were placed in Group H. One of the two South American seeds (Brazil and Argentina) had to play in a group played in South Korea and the other had to play in a group played in Japan. In Pot C, China had to play in South Korea (either group A, B or C) which meant that the other Asian team in Pot C (Saudi Arabia) had to play in Japan (either group E, F or G). In Pot D, two or three African teams, and one or two CONCACAF teams had to play in either South Korea or Japan.
 
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.

The teams in the group play were ranked upon
* Most points
Tying teams would be ranked on:
* Greatest total goal difference in the three group matches
* Greatest number of goals scored in the three group matches
Still tying teams would be ranked on:
* Most points earned in matches against other teams in the tie

* Greatest number of goals scored in matches against other teams in the tie
* Drawing of lots
 
In the original version of the rules for the final tournament, the ranking criteria were in a different order, with head-to-head results taking precedence over total goal difference. The rules were changed to the above in advance of the tournament, but older versions were still available on the FIFA and UEFA websites, causing some confusion among those trying to identify the correct criteria.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ar.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/edition=4395/overview.html |title=كأس العالم كوريا/اليابان 2002 FIFA |date=June 2002 |work=[[FIFA]] |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120823123531/http://ar.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/edition=4395/overview.html |archivedate=23 August 2012 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

In the third-place match in Daegu, Turkey beat the South Koreans 3–2, their first goal coming from [[Hakan Şükür]] straight from the opening kick-off (even though South Korea kicked off) in 10.8 seconds, the fastest ever goal in World Cup history.
 
In the [[2002 FIFA World Cup Final|final match]] held in Yokohama, Japan, two goals from 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 Shoe]] 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 became the only team since Argentina in [[1986 FIFA World Cup|1986]] to win the trophy without needing to win a [[Penalty shootout (association football)|penalty shootout]] at some stage during the knockout phase, and the total number of penalty shootouts (2) was the lowest since the four-round knockout format was introduced in 1986. Brazil also became the first team to win every match at a World Cup Finals since 1970, and set a new record for highest aggregate goal difference (+14) for a World Cup winner. 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.

==Ticket sales problem==
The original domestic ticket allocation had fully sold out and the organising committee completed sales of tickets returned from the international allocation by the end of April. However, it was obvious at the opening matches that there were a significant number of empty seats.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://archives.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/worldcup/06/01/probe.tickets/index.html |title=FIFA to probe empty seats |work=CNN.com |publisher=Cable News Network LP |date=1 June 2002 |accessdate=10 August 2013 |first=Andrew |last=Demaria}}</ref> It was gradually revealed that the World Cup Ticketing Bureau (WCTB) still had unsold tickets in its possession. After FIFA agreed to sell this inventory, JAWOC undertook sales over telephone and WCTB handled the internet sales.<ref>[http://www.soccerphile.com/soccerphile/archives/wc2002/ne/espp.html Football News – Empty Seats, Peace and Passion], World Cup Soccer and Global Football Information – Soccerphile</ref> For the second round Japan vs. Turkey match in Miyagi in particular, although it was reported by both parties that all tickets had been sold, some 700 seats remained empty.
 
==Controversies==
The tournament was criticized for many poor and questionable refereeing decisions. South Korea in particular faced scrutiny and allegations of corruption due to the favorable decisions they received in their controversial victories over Italy in the Round of 16 and over Spain in the Quarterfinals.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://deadspin.com/italian-paper-alleges-fifa-used-corrupt-refs-to-fix-200-1707704308|title=Italian Paper Alleges FIFA Used Corrupt Refs To Fix 2002 World Cup Games|last=Haisley|first=Billy|work=Deadspin|access-date=8 March 2017|language=en-US}}</ref><ref name="bbc.co.uk"/><ref name="auto"/>
