Participation

Participating teams

Initially, Six (out of 12) WAFF nations were set to enter the final tournament tournament.[6] However Iraq and Palestine withdrew before the draw. As a result, Host Lebanon entered two teams Team A (Under-18) and Team B (Under-16) to maintain the tournament’s competitiveness, with the number of participating teams reduced to three.[7]
