African Youth Athletics Championships
The African Youth Athletics Championships is a biennial continental athletics competition for African athletes, organised by the Confederation of African Athletics. First held in 2013, it is a youth category event open to athletes aged fifteen to seventeen in the year of competition.[1]
The competition was the third continental athletics competition to be created for that age level, following in the steps of the South American and Oceanian events. Its proposal, coming at a similar time as that for the European Athletics Youth Championships, marked a growing interest in international competition for younger people.[2][3]
