2023 WAFF U-23 Championship squads

The 2023 WAFF U-23 Championship is an international football tournament held in Iraq from 12 to 20 June 2023. It is the fourth edition of the U-23 age group competition organised by the West Asian Football Federation.

The nine national teams involved in the tournament are required to register a squad of at most 25 players, including three goalkeepers. Only players in these squads are eligible to take part in the tournament. Players born on or after 1 January 2000 were eligible to compete in the tournament.

The full squad listings are below. The age listed for each player is on 12 June 2023, the first day of the tournament. The nationality for each club reflects the national association (not the league) to which the club is affiliated. A flag is included for coaches who are of a different nationality than their own national team. Players in boldface were capped at full international level prior to being called up.
