The 2019 CECAFA Cup was the 40th 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 took place in Uganda in December 2019.
Participants
The following teams were confirmed to be participating in the tournament. The national team of the Democratic Republic of Congo was announced to participate in place of Rwanda.[2] Ethiopia, DR Congo and South Sudan all withdrew from the tournament in December 2019.[3] The reason was the financial shortages of each respective federation which prevented them from meeting the $20,000 entry requirement.[4]
