Arab U23 Athletics Championships

The Arab U23 Athletics Championships (French : Championnats Arabes des Espoirs) is an international athletics competition between U23 athletes (under-23) from Arabic countries.

It was first held in 2023, building upon the long-running senior Arab Athletics Championships (created 1977), its corresponding Arab Junior Championships (begun in 1984), and the Arab Youth Championships (created 2004). ^{[1] [2] [3]}
