Morocco has secured the top position in the medal standings at the 2026 Arab U20 Athletics Championships, which concluded on May 1, 2026, in Cairo, Egypt. The Moroccan team amassed a total of 28 medals, including 10 gold, 9 silver, and 9 bronze, according to official results published by the Arab Athletics Federation.
The championships, held from April 28 to May 1, 2026, featured athletes from 18 Arab nations competing in various track and field events. Morocco's performance was highlighted by strong showings in middle-distance running and field events, contributing to their overall lead.
Algeria finished second in the medal table with 22 medals (8 gold, 7 silver, 7 bronze), while Egypt, the host nation, placed third with 19 medals (6 gold, 6 silver, 7 bronze). Tunisia and Saudi Arabia rounded out the top five.
This achievement underscores Morocco's continued investment in youth athletics development, with several athletes setting personal bests and national records during the competition. The championships serve as a key qualifying event for the World U20 Athletics Championships later this year.
