The 2001-02 season was FC Dinamo București's 53rd season in Divizia A. In this season, Dinamo became Romanian champions for the 16th time in history. Dinamo was eliminated quickly from the UEFA Cup, and concentrated only on the internal competition. Thus, after the first half of the season, Dinamo was leader with two points over the revelation FC Național. In March 2002, Dinamo defeated Rapid 3-2, and distanced itself to five points at the front of the standings, and Cristian Borcea, Dinamo's president, launched after the game the famous sentence: "Let us prepare for the Champions League"[1]

Finally, Dinamo won the title in the last round of games, with a win against FC Braşov, and at the same time a defeat for FC Naţional, leader before that round, at Universitatea Craiova.

In the Romanian Cup, Dinamo was defeated in the final by Rapid.
