Nigeria won their 4th title, beating South Africa 2–0 in a final which got abandoned at the 73rd minute.
Qualification
South Africa as hosts and Nigeria as title holders qualified automatically, while the remaining six spots were determined by the qualification rounds which took place between June and August 2000.
Format
Qualification took place on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If aggregate scores were tied after the second leg, the away goals rule would apply, even adding the penalty shoot-out if scores were still level. No extra time period was used.
The six winners of the qualification round qualified for the group stage.
