What was the official name of the 2002 World Cup video game in the FIFA series?

The story behind the answer

The official name of the 2002 World Cup video game was 2002 FIFA World Cup.

EA Sports released 2002 FIFA World Cup as the official video game of the tournament co-hosted by South Korea and Japan. Unlike the numbered annual FIFA releases, the title focused specifically on the World Cup and used the licensed tournament branding.

The game included national teams and tournament presentation linked to the 2002 competition. Brazil won the real tournament, defeating Germany 2–0 in the final in Yokohama, with both goals scored by Ronaldo.

Players sometimes shorten the title to “FIFA 2002,” but that wording can be confused with FIFA Football 2002, the regular series entry released around the same period. The World Cup game has the distinct title “2002 FIFA World Cup.”
