The Arab Cup U-20 (Arabic: كأس العرب للمنتخبات تحت 20 سنة) is an international football competition organised by the Union of Arab Football Associations, contested by the U-20 national teams in the Arab world. The teams come from CAF and AFC. Some non-Arab nations, such as Senegal or Uzbekistan, have also been invited on occasion.

History

The competition was created in 1983 as the Palestine Cup of Nations for Youth (Arabic: كأس فلسطين للشباب) replacing the Palestine Cup of Nations of senior teams; the first edition was held in Morocco, which Iraq won after beating Saudi Arabia in the final. After a 22-year long hiatus, in 2011 the competition returned as the Arab Cup U-20 under the auspices of the UAFA.

The Arab Cup U20 is a prestigious youth football tournament that brings together the brightest young talents from across the Arab world. Organized to promote regional football development and foster cultural exchange, the competition features national teams composed of players under the age of 20. Held periodically, the Arab Cup U20 showcases emerging stars, exciting matches, and intense rivalries, serving as a vital platform for young athletes to demonstrate their skills and gain international experience. With passionate fans and a vibrant atmosphere, the tournament highlights the rich footballing heritage of the Arab nations and aims to inspire the next generation of football stars.
