The 13th African Nations U20 Youth Championship 2003

The Finals

4-18 January, Burkina Faso

2003 Champions - Egypt

The U20 African Championship is held every two years and is the CAF qualifying stage for the FIFA World Youth Championship first held in 1977.

Until 1989 the African representatives were determined purely on a qualifying basis with no African title on the line. Since 1991 there has been a qualifying stage and then a final tournament played by 8 teams in a chosen country.

The four semi-finalists qualify for the 2003 World Youth Championship to be held in the United Arab Emirates from November 27 - December 19.
