When Asia Welcomed the World tells the story of the 2002 World Cup, a tournament that will be remembered for many reasons, from heart-warming stories to dark accusations. The book resurrects the great characters that lit up 2002' s biggest footballing stage, including Ronaldo, Oliver Kahn, David Beckham and Ru? tu Recber, as well as humbling defeats for the game' s giants at the hands of comparative minnows. It also explores the tournament' s controversies and issues that arose before it had even begun. This was Asia' s first ever World Cup, with South Korea and Japan also acting as the continent' s first ever co-hosts. The tournament' s legacy has proved to be a divisive one, but it has remained ingrained in football' s collective memory for 20 years and will continue to do so.
