The UAE Youth League is a youth league system that is organised by either the UAE Pro League Committee or UAE FA. The system was introduced in 2012 with its first season being held in 2012/13, the intention was to develop professional football at a youth level in the country. While originally only organising an under-21 competition, in the following year, the UAE FA created an under 19 league to expand its youth development.
