La Football Association Youth Challenge Cup es una competición de fútbol inglesa organizada por la Football Association para equipos menores de 18 años. Solo los jugadores que tengan entre 15 y 18 años el 31 de agosto de la temporada actual son elegibles para participar. Está dominado por los equipos juveniles de los equipos profesionales, en su mayoría de la Premier League , pero atrae a más de 400 participantes de todo el país.

Al final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la FA organizó un Campeonato Juvenil para Asociaciones del Condado considerándolo la mejor manera de estimular el juego entre aquellos jóvenes que aún no tienen la edad suficiente para jugar fútbol senior. Los partidos no atrajeron grandes multitudes, pero se seleccionaron jugadores destacados para los Internacionales Juveniles y miles tuvieron la oportunidad de jugar en un concurso nacional por primera vez. En 1951 se comprendió que una competición de clubes probablemente tendría un atractivo más amplio. La Copa Desafío Juvenil de la FA (temporada 1952–53) se limitó a los equipos juveniles de clubes, tanto profesionales como amateurs, que eran miembros de la FA. ^[1]

Sir Joe Richards, el difunto presidente de la Football League, pensó en la idea de una copa juvenil. Inicialmente propuso la idea a los clubes de la liga, pero no se mostraron entusiasmados; Richards luego llevó la idea a la Asociación de Fútbol, ​​a quien le gustó la idea y creó la competencia en el mismo año. ^[2] El trofeo de la Copa Juvenil fue comprado por la Liga de Fútbol durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial . Sin embargo, nunca le encontraron un uso. El secretario de la Liga de Fútbol, ​​Fred Howarth, encontró el trofeo en un armario en la oficina de Starkie Street y se lo entregó a la Asociación de Fútbol. ^[2]

El Manchester United es el club más exitoso de la competición, ganando diez veces. El actual campeón es el Manchester City , que derrotó al Chelsea por 3-2 en la final de 2020.

El torneo ha servido como trampolín hacia el juego profesional para muchos de los mejores jugadores británicos. Gente como George Best , John Barnes , Ryan Giggs , David Beckham , Gary Neville , Frank Lampard , Michael Owen , Steven Gerrard , Jamie Carragher , Joe Cole , Wayne Rooney , Theo Walcott , Daniel Sturridge , Jack Wilshere y Gareth Bale tenían todo ganó el torneo o jugó en la final. La FA Youth Cup de 1991-1992 dio lugar al surgimiento deLos novatos de Fergie .
