CECAFA Replaces Kenya, Tanzania Teams That Pulled Out Of Kagame Club Championship

The Council for East and Central African FAs (CECAFA) "has replaced the three teams that pulled out of the forthcoming CECAFA Kagame Club Championship in Sudan," according to Andrew Jackson Oryada of the BBC. Kenyan champions Tusker FC and two Tanzanian sides, Simba and defending champions Young Africans, "indicated last week that they had pulled out because they are concerned about security in the host states of Durfur and South Kordofan." CECAFA Secretary General Nicholas Musonye said that football club Uganda Revenue Authority, Rayon Sport of Rwanda and Elect Sport of Chad "will replace the teams that pulled out" (BBC, 6/13).
