Zonal CECAFA Women’s Champions League qualifiers postponed again

The zonal CECAFA Women’s Champions League qualifiers have been postponed again.

Auka Gecheo, the Executive Director of the Council of East and Central Africa Football Associations (CECAFA) said today that the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) informed them of the change. FKF said the competition can only take place after August 24th.
The regional event was slated to take place August 7-21st after it had been postponed earlier.

The development comes because Kenya is preparing to host the 2021 World U20 Athletics championships at the Kasarani Stadium. CECAFA had planned to have the qualifiers played at Nyayo Stadium and Kasarani Stadium.

“Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience,” added Gecheo.

After Rwanda’s Scandinavian WFC withdrew from the zonal qualifiers, the eight teams that will feature include; Lady Doves WFC (Uganda), Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (Ethiopia), PVP FC (Burundi), Yei Joint Stars (South Sudan), FAD (Djibouti), Simba Queens FC (Tanzania), New Generations FC (Zanzibar) and Vihiga Queens FC (Kenya).

The winner from the CECAFA region will play in the CAF Women’s Champions League to be hosted by Egypt.
