The 2002 CAF Cup marked the 11th edition of Africa's then-tertiary club football tournament organised by CAF for clubs that finished as runners-up in their domestic leagues. The final was played over two legs at Stade du 5 Juillet, Algiers, Algeria and at Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo, Yaoundé, Cameroon. The competition was won by algerian club JS Kabylie, who defeated TKC of Cameroon after an aggregate result of 4–1. This victory made JS Kabylie the first and only team to win the CAF Cup three consecutive times, a feat that allowed them to permanently retain the trophy.
