Sudan, Rwanda bid to host Zonal AFCON U-20 qualifiers
The member Associations of Sudan and Rwanda have sent in their bids to host the Zonal qualifiers of the 2023 TotalEnergies U-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Auka Gecheo, the CECAFA Executive Director confirmed today that they have received bids for four tournaments to be hosted in the region.
“We have received bids from Sudan and Rwanda to hosts the AFCON U-20 qualifiers, while Ethiopia and Tanzania have also sent in bids to host the AFCON U-17 qualifiers,” said Gecheo.
While it was agreed during the CECAFA Extra Ordinary Assembly held in Arusha, Tanzania in February, 2022 that Uganda hosts the CECAFA Senior Women’s Championship, Tanzania is the only member Association to bid to host the AFCON Women’s Champions League qualifiers for the Zone.
Uganda have also applied to host the qualifiers for the Pan African School Cup. No member Association is yet to show interest in hosting the CECAFA Kagame Cup and the CECAFA U-23 Challenge Cup.
“The executive Committee will meet soon to assess the bids and the final list of hosts released,” said Auka.
