Brazil won the 2002 FIFA World Cup after winning all seven of its matches.
The tournament was co-hosted by South Korea and Japan, making it the first World Cup staged in Asia and the first shared by two countries. Brazil won three group matches before defeating Belgium, England and Turkey in the knockout rounds.
Brazil beat Germany 2–0 in the final at Yokohama International Stadium on 30 June 2002. Ronaldo scored both goals, including the tournament-winning team’s seventh consecutive victory.
The title was Brazil’s fifth World Cup championship, a record that remains unmatched. Ronaldo won the Golden Boot with eight goals, while captain Cafu became the first player to appear in three consecutive World Cup finals.
