the 2023 UNAF U-20 Women's Tournament was the 2nd edition of the UNAF U-20 Women's Tournament, the international women's youth football championship contested by the under-20 national teams of the member associations of UNAF (North Africa), the tournament was originally scheduled to run from 11 to 18 February 2023. However, the tournament was postponed indefinitely due to the inability of the Tunisian Football Federation to host the tournament in that period of time adding to the lack of interest shown by the participating members.[1][2] The tournament was later rescheduled and to be held from 13 to 20 March 2023 in Sousse, Tunisia.[3]
Morocco are the defending champions having won the inaugural tournament back in 2019.
On 25 December 2022, it was initially announced that all UNAF's member associations will compete in the tournament alongside CECAFA's Sudan (who were scheduled to make their maiden international debut in the tournament).[4] Tanzania were also reported to be invited to the tournament.[5] On 22 February 2023, UNAF confirmed the participation of four teams in the UNAF U-20 Women's Tournament, with Egypt debuting in the tournament.[6]
