Winners in Group II advanced to the Europe/Africa Zone Group I. Teams who lost their respective ties competed in the relegation play-offs, with winning teams remaining in Group II, whereas teams who lost their play-offs were relegated to the Europe/Africa Zone Group III in 2004.[3]

Group III

Zone A

  • Venue: Sidi Fredj T.C., Algiers, Algeria (outdoor clay)
  • Date: 3–7 February

The Europe/Africa Zone was one of the three zones of the regional Davis Cup competition in 2003.

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 III was split into two tournaments. One tournament was held in Sidi Fredj T.C., Algiers, Algeria, February 3–7, on outdoor clay courts, while the other was held in State Tennis Centre, Jūrmala, Latvia, June 11–15, on outdoor clay courts.[22]

Format

The eight teams in the Algiers tournament were split into two pools and played in a round-robin format. The top two teams of each pool advanced to the promotion pool, from which the two top teams were promoted to the Europe/Africa Zone Group II in 2004. The bottom two teams of each group were placed in the relegation pool, from which the two bottom teams were demoted to the Europe/Africa Zone Group IV in 2004.
