The World Cup is the dream of every country's players. Held every four years, FIFA member countries (regions) can send representatives to participate in the competition. The World Cup, also known as the "cup of life", is the source and foundation of the development and popularization of world football. Football (English) and "Beauty" are both foot-based sports, and the two teams attack and defend in the same rectangular court according to certain rules.

Because of its strong antagonism, changeable tactics and large number of participants, modern football, known as "the first sport in the world", was formerly a ball game in Zizhou, Gucheng, China (now Zibo). Later, Arabs introduced into Europe from China and gradually developed into modern football. Modern football originated in England. From 65438 to 0848, Cambridge Rules became the first written rule in the world.

In the 2002 World Cup, China lost three games in a row and missed the group stage. In the first round against Costa Rica, they lost to world champion Brazil 0-2 and Brazil 0-4. The score of 4-0 shows the disparity in strength between the two teams, and perseverance alone can't make up for it. In the end, it lost 3-0 to Turkey and missed the first World Cup. Then Brazil and Turkey won the World Cup and the third place respectively.

The overall strength of China team in the 2002 World Cup is still very strong. There are not only players who play in overseas leagues, such as Fan Zhiyi, Xie Hui and Yang Chen, but also many main players in domestic leagues. Therefore, China performed well in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers, defeating Qatar, Uzbekistan, Oman and other rivals, and finally successfully advanced.

After the promotion, the national football team was grouped with Brazil, Costa Rica and Turkey, and Sun Jihai was injured shortly after the opening of the first game. In the end, China, which lacked World Cup experience, failed to create a miracle.
