Кубок стран Африки U-20 , известный как AFCON U-20 и для спонсорских целей, как TotalEnergies U-20 Africa Cup of Nations , ранее известный как африканский молодежный чемпионат и африканский чемпионат U-20 , является биенналом Международный молодежный футбольный турнир, организованный Конфедерацией африканского футбола (CAF) для своих стран, состоящих из игроков в возрасте до 20 лет. Он служит африканским квалификационным турниром для чемпионата мира по футболу U-20 .
История
[ редактировать ]В 1979 году ФИФА создала чемпионат мира для будущих футболистов, заставляя CAF установить квалификационный турнир по дому и выводу для африканских стран, названных африканским молодежным чемпионатом , который также увенчал чемпионов турнира. В 1991 году CAF превратила турнир в полномасштабный турнир, оспариваемый 8 в выбранной принимающей стране.
CAF changed the name of this competition to the African U-20 Championship for the 2011 edition so as to distinguish it from the U-17 competition. On 6 August 2015, the CAF Executive Committee decided to change the tournament's name to the Africa U-20 Cup of Nations in line with the flagship Africa Cup of Nations tournament.[1] However, the name on the official competition logo after 2015 reads as the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations.
On 21 July 2016, French energy and petroleum giant TotalEnergies (formerly Total S.A.) secured an 8-year sponsorship package from CAF to support its competitions.[2][3]
Since the 2021 edition, the tournament has been contested by 12 teams.[4]
