International football competition

The 2013 COSAFA U-20 Cup was the 22nd edition of the COSAFA U-20 Challenge Cup, an international youth competition open to national associations of the COSAFA region. It was the first time since 2011 that the competition took place, as the 2012 event was cancelled while COSAFA concentrated their effort into organising a football competition as part of the Zone Six Games.[2]

Lesotho was the host nation of the competition.[3] It took place between 3 and 14 December. The host cities were Maseru and Mafeteng.

The competition was open to players born on or after 1 January 1994.[4]
