Following our great coverage of the CECAFA Senior Challenge last years, this is the next step towards expanding our coverage of the best football from the East African region. said Rathbone”
“We are talking about the club champions from right across East Africa - including Kenyan champions Ulinzi, Tanzanian champions Yanga and Ugandan champions Banamwaya. This will be an absolute feast of football for fans everywhere."
