Only five of FIFA's member countries failed to compete in the 2002 World Cup.
There is a point available for each country ...
Question 092
GreyDesk Posted Jan 13, 2002
Given that the world cup hasn't actually happened yet, I assume you mean, which countries failed to take part in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers.
Well three are easy - France, Japan and South Korea
I'll be back with the other two shortly

Question 092
Eusebio - squad number 11 Posted Jan 13, 2002
Okay technically France, South Korea and Japan haven't yet competed BUT they will be, so no points there!!!
The countries I was after were ...
Afghanistan, (1pt to Nitpicker)
Burundi, (1pt to Grey Desk)
North Korea, (1pt to Grey Desk)
And here is my confession ... I have worded the question incorrectly ... it should have read 'failed to enter' rather than failed to compete.
Bhutan, Myanmar and Guyana entered but then withdrew, but seeing as it was my mistake, I'll give you your points anyway (2pts to Nitpicker and 1pt to Grey Desk)
The good news is that there are two more countries who failed to enter 2002 ...
