(11 goals) Listed below are the dates and results for the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification rounds for Africa.

The Confederation of African Football was allocated five qualifying berths for the 2002 FIFA World Cup. 51 teams entered the qualification process.

Burundi withdrew before the draw was made, while Niger chose not to participate.

Guinea was excluded from the competition during the second round for government interference with its national association, resulting in their results obtained in second round being annulled.

Africa's five automatic qualifying berths were taken by Cameroon, Senegal, Tunisia, South Africa, and Nigeria.

Format

There were two rounds of play:

  • First round: The 50 teams were divided into five pools of ten teams each. In each pool, the ten teams were paired up to play knockout matches on a home-and-away basis. The winners advanced to the second round.
  • Second round: The 25 teams were divided into five groups of five teams each. The teams played against each other on a home-and-away basis. The group winners qualified.
