                2002 FIFA World Cup, sometimes known as FIFA World Cup 2002, is the official World Cup video game published by EA Sports.

                An amalgamation between the game engines of FIFA 2002 and FIFA 2003, the game still incorporates the power bar for shots and crosses but with a steeper learning curve and customisation of the chances of being penalised by the match referee. Some kits are licensed, along with player likeness and the stadia of the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Unlike the previous games in the FIFA series, the game had an original soundtrack performed by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. It was released for Windows, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox.

                Teams

                The game features each of the 32 teams that qualified for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, and 9 teams that did not qualify.

                Qualified teams:

                Column-generating template families

                The templates listed here are not interchangeable. For example, using {{col-float}} with {{col-end}} instead of {{col-float-end}} would leave a HTML "div" (division) open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting.

                Column templates
                Type Family
                Handles wiki

                		 Responsive/
                Mobile suited                		 Start template Column divider End template
                Float "Col-float" Yes Yes {{Col-float}} {{Col-float-break}} {{Col-float-end}}
                "Columns-start" Yes Yes {{Columns-start}} {{Column}} {{Columns-end}}
                Columns "Div col" Yes Yes {{Div col}} – {{Div col end}}
                "Columns-list" No Yes {{Columns-list}} (wraps div col) – –
                Flexbox "Flex columns" No Yes {{Flex columns}} – –
                Table "Col" Yes No {{Col-begin}},
                {{Col-begin-fixed}} or
                {{Col-begin-small}}                		 {{Col-break}} or
                {{Col-2}} .. {{Col-5}}                		 {{Col-end}}

                dagger Can template handle the basic wiki markup {| | || |- |} used to create tables? If not, special templates that produce these elements (such as {{(!}}, {{!}}, {{!!}}, {{!-}}, {{!)}})—or HTML tags (<table>...</table>, <tr>...</tr>, etc.)—need to be used instead.

                2002 FIFA World Cup was met with positive to average reception. GameRankings and Metacritic gave it a score of 79% and 80 out of 100 for the PC version;[1][6] 76.58% and 73 out of 100 for the PlayStation 2 version;[2][10] 76.05% and 79 out of 100 for the Xbox version;[3][7] 73.59% and 78 out of 100 for the GameCube version;[4][8] and 68.75% and 77 out of 100 for the PlayStation version.[5][9] In Japan, Famitsu gave the GameCube, PS2, and Xbox versions each a score of 30 out of 40.[13][14][15]

                Lawsuit

                Bayern Munich and German international goalkeeper Oliver Kahn successfully sued Electronic Arts for their inclusion of him in the game without his prior consent despite EA reaching an agreement with FIFPro, the body that represents all FIFA players. As a result, EA was banned from selling copies of the game in Germany and was forced to financially compensate Kahn.[42]
