The qualifying process for the 2002 Thomas Cup took place from 17 to 24 February 2002 to decide the final teams which will play in the final tournament.

Qualification process

The qualification process was divided into two regions, the Oceania Zone and the European Zone. Teams in their respective zone will first compete in a round-robin elimination format. Seeded teams received a bye into the second round while unseeded teams competed in the first round for a place in the second round. Teams in the second round competed for a place in the knockout stages. Semi-final winners in each zone were guaranteed qualification for the final tournament to be held in Guangzhou while the remaining teams competed in a third place playoff match for a place in the final tournament.[1]

Indonesia qualified for the final tournament as defending champions while China qualified as hosts.[1]
