The 2002 Cape Verdean Football Championship 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 Cape Verdean Football Federation.[1] Sporting Praia won their fourth title. No club participated in the 2003 CAF Champions League and the 2003 CAF Winners Cup.

Overview

Onze Unidos was the defending team of the title. A total of 9 clubs, 36 matches were played and 117 goals were scored.[1] It was one of the few seasons that the total number of points would be the champion, it had fewer games compared to other football leagues and this would be the last season to do so. The following season, they used the group system with 4 matches and with playoffs though the semis would be added, also the Santiago and Santo Antão Island Leagues would be split into two and the total number of clubs risen to 11. The number of goals were higher than any other season in history until 2005. Sporting and Bautuque shared the record total of 19 points, no other club surpassed it since, even into the creation of a three-group season with six matches for each club made in May 2017. Batuque scored the most at home, the most in a regular season.
