The 2023 Maurice Revello Tournament (officially French: 49ème Festival International "Espoirs" – Tournoi Maurice Revello), was the 49th edition of the Maurice Revello Tournament, an annual, international, age-restricted football tournament.^[1]

Panama won their first title after defeating Mexico 4–1 in the final.^[2]

The following twelve teams participated:^[3] In May, Bolivia announced their withdrawal due to the country's financial situation and Morocco were invited to replace them.^[4] In June, Togo withdrew from the competition, and due to the late announcement no nation was able to replace them. Therefore the tournament organisers called-up a selection of under-21 players from the Mediterranean region.^[5]

The following venues were used during the tournament.^[6]

City	Stadium	Capacity
Arles	Stade Fernand-Fournier	2,500
Aubagne	Stade de Lattre-de-Tassigny	1,000
Fos-sur-Mer	Stade Parsemain	12,500
Mallemort	Stade d'Honneur	720
Miramas	Stade des Molières
Salon-de-Provence	Stade d'Honneur Marcel Roustan	4,000

The match officials were announced on the tournament's website.^[7]

Every match consists of two periods of 45 minutes each. In a match, every team has eleven named substitutes and the maximum number of substitutions permitted is five.

In the group stage, in the event of a draw, the two teams face each other in a penalty shoot-out, with a bonus point for the winners. In the knockout stage, if a game tied, extra time would not be played and a penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winners.

The groups were announced on 3 April 2023. The twelve teams were drawn into three groups of four.^[1]
