Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Uganda will host the Cecafa qualifiers for the 2025 U-17 Africa Cup of Nations Cecafa, but under a condition.<\/b><\/p>\n

The announcement was made on Saturday during Cecafa\u2019s non-elective general assembly held in Mombasa, Kenya.<\/p>\n

According to the regional body\u2019s chairman competitions committee Isayas Jira, Ethiopia and Uganda bid to host the qualifiers but the latter was awarded provided they don\u2019t host it at the Fufa Technical Centre in Njeru.<\/p>\n

\u201cEthiopia and Uganda applied to host the Afcon U-17 Boys [Cecafa qualifier] and we gave it to Uganda with asterisks,\u201d Isayas Jira, Chairman Cecafa competitions committee announced.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy asterisks?\u201d he explained, \u201cIf the venue will be in Jinja, we won\u2019t go and Ethiopia is ready to host.\u201d<\/p>\n

Njeru and Jinja have been a traditional host to Cecafa tournaments since 2015.<\/p>\n

The Ethiopia football president also revealed that the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup will also return this year to be hosted by Zanzibar.<\/p>\n

The Swahili island nation will also host the Caf PanAfrican Schools Championship pending the Caf\u2019s approval. Zanzibar is not officially recognized by Fifa and Caf.<\/p>\n

Afcon U20 boys\u2019 qualifiers will be hosted by Tanzania, regional Caf Women\u2019s Champions League and U20 girls\u2019 championship will go to Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

Cecafa president Wallace Karia reminded the members of their obligations to pay the $20,000 (approx. sh80m) to participate in the senior challenge. The competition will revert to its former state and will now been opened to all age categories breaking the U-23 barrier set in the last edition in Ethiopia in 2021.<\/p>\n

The body has also introduced tough measures to govern its tournaments. Among the measures include that the host city of U17 tournaments must have the latest version (5 Tesla) of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) used by Caf to determine age.<\/p>\n
