Ethiopia awaits CECAFA Challenge Cup Draws tomorrow

Dar es Salaam, Tanzania – The Ethiopian national team will find out its seeding when draws of the 2010 CECAFA Challenge Cup will be held here tomorrow.

The CECAFA tournament will be held here from November 27 through December 12.

The draws were supposed to take place last Sunday but they were postponed because Tanzania was holding its election on the same day.

Speaking from the body’s head quarters in Nairobi, CECAFA Secretary General Nicholas Musonye said that Malawi, Zambia and the Ivory Coast accepted the invitation to take part in this year’s competition as guest teams. However, the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon together with Djibouti and Eritrea have pulled out from the tournament.

The withdrawal of Cameroon, Djibouti and Eritrea leaves only 12 teams, but Musonye ruled out inviting Mozambique or Zimbabwe to fill out the vacancy.
