The 2002 Santiago South Premier Division season began on 12 January and finished on 21 April. Sporting won the regional competition and qualified into the 2002 Cape Verdean Football Championships. The championship was organized by the Santiago South Regional Football Association (Associação Regional de Futebol de Santiago Sul, ARFSS).[1][2] The competition returned after the 2001 season was not held due to the condition of the stadium at the Municipal Stadium. All matches were played at Campo de Sucupira which was temporarily used up until 2007. The field no longer exists today and several buildings dominate the former field.
