EA's officially licensed 2002 World Cup tie-in featuring the 32 qualified nations and Korea/Japan stadiums. The on-pitch action carries over from FIFA 2002 with no real upgrade, yet the tournament atmosphere remains infectious.

Description
Official tie-in of the FIFA World Cup held in Korea and Japan. Published by Electronic Arts, released in April 2002. All qualified national teams, full tournament mode, localised commentary and faithful stadium atmosphere. Worldwide release.
The official adaptation of the 2002 World Cup, an annual football game with a short commercial shelf life, soon superseded by the next edition. Its Asian pressing stays the only notable particularity, without making it a truly sought object. Collector interest here is very limited beyond completing a regional library.
