The 2024 CAFA U-20 Championship was the 2nd edition of the CAFA U-20 Championship, the international youth football championship organised by Central Asian Football Association for the men's under-20 national teams of Central Asia. Kyrgyzstan hosted the tournament from 5 to 12 July 2024. A total of six teams played in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2004 eligible to participate. It was the first CAFA tournament to implement video assistant referees (VAR).
Uzbekistan were the defending champions having won the inaugural edition. However, their inability to defeat Iran in the group stage resulted in them playing in the third-place playoff which they won. Meanwhile, Iran clinched their first title by defeating host the Kyrgyz Republic 3–0 in the final.
