The 2015 CECAFA Cup is the 38th edition of the annual CECAFA Cup, an international football competition consisting of the national teams of member nations of the Council for East and Central Africa Football Associations (CECAFA). It is scheduled to take place in Ethiopia from 21 November to 5 December 2015.[1]
The tournament was initially scheduled to be hosted in Rwanda.[2] However, in June 2015, it was announced that Ethiopia replaced Rwanda as host due to Rwanda's preparation to host the 2016 African Nations Championship.[1]
Participants
The following teams have been confirmed to participate in the tournament:
- Notes
- Eritrea national football team refused to participate due to the country's political tensions with hosts Ethiopia.[3]
- A draw containing Zambia was released to the press on 9 November 2015 but appeared to be inaccurate due to Malawi's inclusion.
