The 2022 WAFF U-18 Girls Championship was the third edition of the WAFF U-18 Girls Championship, the international women's football youth championship of Western Asia organized by the West Asian Football Federation (WAFF). It was held in Lebanon from 19 to 25 October 2022.[1]
Host Lebanon entered two teams – Team A (U-18) and Team B (U-16) – due to the low number of the participating teams (three) after Iraq and Palestine withdrew from the tournament.[2] Lebanon A finished the tournament in first place, after beating Syria 5–1 in the final; Jordan won 2–1 against Lebanon B to claim third place.[3]
Teams
Four teams competed in the tournament.[4] Iraq and Palestine initially confirmed participation but announced their withdrawal before the draw.
