The Samoa national under-20 association football team (Samoan: Sāmoa soka au) represents Samoa in under-20 competitions and is controlled by the Football Federation Samoa, the governing body for football in Samoa. Samoa's U20 home ground is Toleafoa J.S Blatter Soccer Stadium in Apia.[1] It was known as the Western Samoa national under-20 football team until 1997, following the renaming of the country. Samoa is a part of the FIFA Goal project.[2] The 2022 squad consisted of 18 non-Samoan based players out of a squad of 26, this was made possible through extensive worldwide scouting, no other country in the OFC region has seen this amount of off shore players in an U20 squad.
The OFC Under 20 Qualifying Tournament is a tournament held once every two years to decide the only two qualification spots for the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) and its representatives at the FIFA U-20 World Cup.
