The 2002 FIFA World Cup, the 17th staging of the World Cup, was held in South Korea and Japan from May 31 to June 30. The two countries were chosen as 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, and the first held outside South America, Europe, and North America. Brazil won the tournament for a record fifth time, beating Germany 2–0 in the final.
A total of 64 matches were played during the 2002 FIFA World Cup™ finals in Korea/Japan. Senegal produced the best performance by an African nation since 1990 and South Korea secured shock victories against Portugal, Italy and Spain on their way to the semi-finals. Ronaldo (BRA) finished top scorer guiding Brazil to their fifth World Cup™ triumph.
