November 4 – The Confederation of East and Central Africa Football Associations (Cecafa) is once again looking for a new host for this year’s Senior Challenge Cup after Kenya backed out, officials said Thursday.
Kenya was parachuted in after original hosts Sudan withdrew from staging the annual tournament, citing financial constraints.
“Kenya have told us that they are not ready to host the championships which was scheduled to kick-off in late November to early December,” Cecafa secretary Nicolas Musonye said.
“We are now back to negotiating with Sudan again to see if they can agree to have the event back in Khartoum. Hopefully we should be able to get a conclusive reply by Friday.”
