The 2013 African Youth Championship is an international football tournament to be held in Algeria from 16 March until 30 March 2013. The semi-finalists of the competition qualify for the age restricted 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup which requires players to be born on or after 1 January 1993. [1] The regulations of the African Youth Championship omit any age restrictions in what appears to be an administrative error. [2]
The 8 national teams involved in the tournament were required to submit a list of up to 40 players to the CAF administration on or before 4 February 2013 (sixty days before the first game of the final tournament). [2]
Only 21 of the 40 players listed are authorised to take part in the final tournament. The final squad of 21 players must be submitted on or before 6 March 2013 (ten days before the first game of the final tournament). The regulations require that three of the 21 players must be goalkeepers. [2]
