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 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. The nine group runners-up were placed into one pot, with eight teams drawn into four pairings.
