The Arab Cup U-20 () 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 for Youth () replacing the Palestine Cup 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.
