The 2002 Cape Verdean Football Championships season was the 23rd of the competition of the first-tier football in Cape Verde. The competition started on 11 May and finished on 6 July 2002. The tournament was organized by the Federação Caboverdiana de Futebol (Cape Verdean Football Federation, FCF).^[1] Sporting Praia won their fourth title. No club participated in the 2003 CAF Champions League and the 2003 CAF Winners Cup.
