The 2019 WAFU U-20 Tournament was the second edition of the international U-20 men's football event for teams under the West African Football Union. The competition was hosted by Guinea from November to December 2019 in two match venues.
Host Guinea, Mauritania, Senegal, and Sierra Leone make up Group A while Liberia, Mali, and Gambia complete Group B (as Guinea-Bissau withdrew).
Players born 1 January 1999 or later are eligible to participate in the competition.
Group stage
The top two teams of each group advance to the semi-finals.
Tiebreakers
Teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tie-breaking criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings.
Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
Goal difference in all group matches;
Goals scored in all group matches;
Disciplinary points (yellow card = 1 point, red card as a result of two yellow cards = 3 points, direct red card = 3 points, yellow card followed by direct red card = 4 points);
Drawing of lots.
If, after applying criteria 1 to 3 to several teams, more than two teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 3 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the two teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 7 to 9 apply;
Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
Goal difference in matches between the teams concerned;
The greatest number of goals scored in the matches between the teams concerned.
