Kenya U-20 team scraps camp plan amidst Cecafa hosting venue confusion

An initial provisional squad of 36 national U-20 football team players that had been named ahead of the CECAFA U20 Championships will not hit camp as scheduled.

This comes in the wake of a communication from the CECAFA Secretariat that host country Uganda is not ready to host the tourney.

The team had initially been set to begin preparations tomorrow in Nairobi ahead of the tourney that was to be played between January 14 -27 in Uganda.

New dates for the junior regional showpiece will thus be communicated in due course.
