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.
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]
