The Palestine national under-20 football team (Arabic: منتخب فلسطين تحت 20 سنة لكرة القدم) is the national under-20 football team of Palestine and is controlled by the Palestinian Football Association. The team also serves as the national under-19 football team of Palestine.
The team is yet to qualify for both the FIFA U-20 World Cup and the AFC U-20 Asian Cup. However, Palestine's biggest achievement is reaching the semi-finals of the 2022 Arab Cup U-20.[1]
History
[edit ]In July 2022, Palestine beat Sudan in the Arab Cup 5–3 to achieve its first victory in the history of the tournament.[2] Palestine missed out yet again on a chance for a AFC U-20 Asian Cup finals appearance despite recording two wins and a draw. However, they suffered a heavy defeat, their worst ever by Japan.
