2002 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA second round

The 2002 FIFA World Cup European qualification play-offs were a set of home-and-away play-offs to decide the final four places granted to national football teams from European nations (more precisely, UEFA members) for the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

The play-offs were decided by the standard FIFA method of aggregate score, with away goals and, if necessary, extra time with the possibility of a penalty shootout at the end of the second leg. The winner of each play-off was awarded a place in the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

Seeding and draw

The draw for the play-offs was held on 31 August 2001 at FIFA's headquarters in Zürich, Switzerland.[1] The nine group runners-up were placed into one pot, with eight teams drawn into four pairings (with the first team drawn hosting the first leg). The remaining team then faced an AFC team in the inter-confederation play-offs.[2] UEFA were paired to face the AFC team by decision of the FIFA Executive Committee in October 1999.[3]

Qualified teams

The teams that finished second in Groups 1 and 3-9 from the group stage qualified for the second round.
