Japan has hosted the FIFA World Cup once, in 2002, along with South Korea. This tournament marked the first time the World Cup was held in Asia. It was a significant event for both countries and for the sport of football globally.

The 2002 FIFA World Cup in Japan and South Korea featured 32 teams competing in various cities across both countries. The tournament saw Brazil emerge as the champions, defeating Germany 2-0 in the final held at the International Stadium Yokohama in Yokohama, Japan. Ronaldo, the Brazilian striker, played a starring role in the final, scoring both goals for Brazil.
