In our seventeenth file, we travel to South Korea and Japan, 2002 — where the World Cup broke new ground and delivered surprises at every turn.
For the first time, the tournament came to Asia — and for the first time, two countries shared the role of host. Defending champions France suffered a stunning early exit, Senegal announced themselves with one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history, and South Korea produced an extraordinary run that carried them all the way to the semi-finals. Meanwhile, Brazil arrived with a fearsome attacking trio and Ronaldo searching for redemption after the heartbreak of 1998.
In File 17: South Korea and Japan 2002, we uncover how a World Cup of shocks sent some of football’s biggest nations home early, how the co-hosts created history, and how Ronaldo completed his remarkable comeback by leading Brazil to a fifth world title.
Strap in. History never played it safe.
