In the Europe/Africa Zone there were four different tiers, called groups, in which teams competed against each other to advance to the upper tier. Group IV was split into two tournaments. One tournament was held in National Centre, Lagos, Nigeria, February 5–9, on outdoor hard courts, while the other was held in Centro Tennis di Fonte dell'Ovo, San Marino, June 11–15, on outdoor clay courts.
Format
The seven teams in the San Marino tournament were split into two groups and played in a round-robin format. The top two teams of each group advanced to the promotion pool, from which the two top teams were promoted to the Europe/Africa Zone Group III in 2004. The remaining teams in each group from the preliminary round were placed in a second pool to determine places 5–7.
