The Arab Cup U-20 (Arabic: كأس العرب للمنتخبات تحت 20 سنة)[1] is an international football competition organised by the Union of Arab Football Associations, contested by the U-20 national teams in the Arab world.[2] The teams come from CAF and AFC. Some non-Arab nations, such as Senegal or Uzbekistan, have also been invited on occasion.
History
[edit]The competition was created in 1983 as the Palestine Cup of Nations for Youth (Arabic: كأس فلسطين للشباب); the first edition was held in Morocco, which Iraq won after beating Saudi Arabia in the final.[3] After a 22-year long hiatus, in 2011 the competition returned as the Arab Cup U-20 under the auspices of the UAFA.[3]
