CECAFa Women's Challenge Cup
Djibouti withdraw from hosting CECAFA Women’s Challenge Cup 2021
The Djibouti Football Federation has officially communicated that they will not be able to host the CECAFA Women’s Challenge Cup 2021.
Youssouf Ahmed Mahamoud, the Secretary General of the Djibouti Football Federation communicated the development in a letter dated October 28th.
The regional tournament was meant to take place from December 3-18th at the El Hadj Hassan Gouled Stadium.
“We regret to inform you that following the meeting of the Board of Directors dated Tuesday, October 26, 2021, it was decided that the tournament of the senior Women’s teams scheduled in Djibouti for the period from 03 to 18th December has been canceled due to the rehabilitation of the Stadium El Hadj Hassan Gouled,” stated the letter sent to the Auka Gecheo, Executive Director of the Council of East and Central African Football Associations (CECAFA).
However, Gecheo made it clear that the Board will meet to deliberate about Djibouti’s communication and find if another Member Association will be ready to host the competition.
Kenya’s Harambee Starlets are the defending champions of the CECAFA Women’s Challenge Cup after defeating Tanzania in 2019 when the event was last held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
