Morocco's record at the U-20 AFCON

Morocco has claimed the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations title just once, lifting the trophy in the 1997 edition.

South Africa's record at the U-20 AFCON

South Africa has yet to win the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations. Their best performance remains a runner-up finish in 1997.
