The Valais Youth Cup is a two-day international football tournament that features four teams. It is played at the Complexe Sportif du Bout du Lac in Le Bouveret, Switzerland.
In February 2013, FIFA gave Kosovo permission to play games against FIFA members' youth teams. This competition saw Kosovo compete in their first officially recognised fixture when they played Ghana on 14 June 2013. The tournament will be used to prepare Egypt and Ghana for the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup competition.
