# 2002 Copa Perú

The 2002 Copa Perú season (Spanish: Copa Perú 2002), the promotion tournament of Peruvian football.
The tournament had five stages. The first four stages were played as mini-league round-robin tournaments, except for third stage in region IV, which was played as a knockout stage. The final stage featured two knockout rounds and a final four-team group stage to determine the two promoted teams.
This year twenty six teams qualified for the Etapa Regional (Regional Stage): these are the twenty six champions from each department (including two from Lima (the capital) - Perú was politically divided in twenty four Departments and one Constitutional Province.
All these teams were divided into eight groups by geographical proximity; then each winner qualified for the Etapa Nacional (National Stage). Those eight teams played, again by geographical proximity, home and away matches, in a knock-out tournament. The winner of the final was promoted to the First Division.
