The Palestine national under-23 football team (Arabic: منتخب فلسطين تحت 23 سنة لكرة القدم), also known as the Palestine Olympic football team, represents Palestine in international football competitions in the Olympic Games, the Asian Games, and the AFC U-23 Asian Cup, as well as any other under-23 international football tournament. The team also serves as the national under-22 football team of Palestine.
The selection is limited to players under the age of 23, except for the Olympics which allows the men's team up to three overage players. The team is controlled by the Palestinian Football Association. The side has never qualified for the Olympic Games. They have participated five times in the Asian Games and once in the AFC U-23 Asian Cup.[1]
