The '''2002 African Cup of Nations''' was the 23rd edition of the [[Africa Cup of Nations]], the association football championship of Africa ([[Confederation of African Football|CAF]]). It was hosted by [[Mali]]. Just like in [[2000 African Cup of Nations|2000]], the field of sixteen teams was split into four groups of four. [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]] won its fourth championship (repeating as champions), beating [[Senegal national football team|Senegal]] on [[Penalty shootout (association football)|penalty kicks]] 3–2 after a goalless draw.

== Host selection ==
'''Bids:'''
*Algeria
*Botswana
*Egypt
*Ethiopia
*'''Mali <small>(selected as hosts)</small>'''

The organization of the 2002 [[Africa Cup of Nations]] was awarded to Mali on 5 February 1998 by the [[Confederation of African Football|CAF]] Executive Committee meeting in [[Ouagadougou]], Burkina Faso during the [[1998 African Cup of Nations]]. Voters had a choice between five countries: Algeria, Botswana, Egypt, Ethiopia and Mali.

This was the first time that Mali had hosted the competition.
