2002 FIFA World Cup Museum
Points of Interest
The 2002 FIFA World Cup was a monumental event in the World Cup's illustrious history. Not only was it the first World Cup to be held in Asia, but it was also the first, and only, time two countries co-hosted the World Cup. Korea had a surprisingly incredible run in the World Cup. They reached the semi-finals where they lost to the eventual tournament runner-up, Germany.
