The tournament was held in Norway, between 21 July and 28 July 2002. The top three teams from each group qualified for the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship. Players born on or after 1 January 1983 were eligible to participate in this competition. The final tournament took place in seven venues located in seven cities — Bærum, Drammen, Hønefoss, Kongsvinger, Lillestrøm, Moss and Oslo. The winners were Spain, who beat Germany to secure their fourth title, and the top scorer was Fernando Torres, with four goals. This edition is also notable for Nelly Viennot becoming the first female official who participated in an UEFA-organised men's football event, after acting as assistant referee at Norway's 1–5 defeat of Slovakia on 21 July 2002.

In the preliminary round, which took place between August and November 2001, 50 national teams were drawn into 14 groups (six groups of three teams and eight groups of four teams) contested as round-robin mini-tournaments hosted by one of the group teams. The group winners then progressed to the intermediary round, where they were paired and played two-legged ties between March and May 2002. The winners secured qualification for the final tournament, joining Norway who qualified automatically as hosts.Torres sparkles for Spain http://www.uefa.com/under19/history/season=2002/ https://web.archive.org/web/20180402045832/http://www.uefa.com/under19/history/season=2002/ dead April 2, 2018 UEFA Union of European Football Associations 2016-02-28 Qualified teams The following eight teams qualified to the final tournament: Country Qualified as 19 NOR Hosts 19 BEL Intermediary round play-off winner 19 CZE Intermediary round play-off winner 19 ENG Intermediary round play-off winner 19 ESP Intermediary round play-off winner 19 GER Intermediary round play-off winner 19 IRL Intermediary round play-off winner 19 SVK Intermediary round play-off winner Venues Scandinavia Southwest 350 Location map of the final tournament host cities Scandinavia Southwest 60.243056 12.225556 Kongsvinger Scandinavia Southwest 59.459167 10.700833 Moss Scandinavia Southwest 60.166667 10.3 Scandinavia Southwest 59.95 11.083333 Scandinavia Southwest 59.938333 10.506667 Bærum left Scandinavia Southwest 59.737778 10.205 Scandinavia Southwest 59.95 10.75 Scandinavia Southwest 59.5 7.6 TransparentPlaceholder.png Drammen Scandinavia Southwest 60.12 10.3 TransparentPlaceholder.png Oslo Scandinavia Southwest 60.3 7.6 TransparentPlaceholder.png Hønefoss Scandinavia Southwest 59.8 11.05 TransparentPlaceholder.png Lillestrøm The final tournament was held in seven stadiums located in seven Norwegian cities.
