Africa Youth Cup international soccer tournament is Africa’s response to similar global international youth soccer tournaments in Asia, Europe, and South America. It is intended to compliment the good work of the Confederation of African Football (CAF). We believe it is time for the rest of the world to come to Africa for a youth tournament of this magnitude which is the symbol of this international youth soccer tournament.

Africa Youth Cup is open to football academies globally, affiliated to national football federations of their country in the U-17 male and U-17 female categories. The tournament is also open to junior national teams and youth academy teams of elite football clubs.

With the successful hosting of the maiden edition in Cape Verde in 2019, it was proven that it is possible to host a quality international youth soccer tournament in Africa.
