“We shall therefore have two groups with four teams in each,’ confirmed Auka Gecheo. He also confirmed that the qualifiers will be played at the Nyayo Stadium and Kasarani Stadium in Nairobi.

Already Group A has Lady Doves (Uganda), PVP FC (Burundi), Simba Queens (Tanzania), while Group B has Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (Ethiopia), Yei Joint FC (South Sudan) and New Generation (Zanzibar).
