The 2016 CECAFA Cup will be the 39th 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). In September 2016, it was confirmed that Kenya would host the tournament.[1]
Originally, it was to be hosted in Sudan.[2]
In November 2016, Kenya announced they are not ready to host the tournament and CECAFA officials are looking to persuade Sudan to take over as hosts.[3]
