In bid of holding a 'successful championship', guest teams Al Ahly of Egypt and
Liberty Professionals of Ghana have been locked out of this year's Cecafa/Kagame
Cup despite being invited earlier.
Cecafa President Leodegar Tenga said on Wednesday in Dar es Salaam that guest
teams were excluded after realizing that organizers could face a difficult time
financially.

"Having them in the championship could have been great, but we have no option
but to exclude them, therefore only the teams from member states will be taking
part," he told Tanzanian media.
Meanwhile, the championship which was due to be held in Sudan has been shifted
to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania from June 21-July 5.
The Cecafa secretary general Nicholas Musonye said in a statement that they
decided to shift the venue for the regional club championship from Khartoum,
Sudan over security concerns.
"The tournament was shifted because of the ongoing political crisis in the
country," added Musonye.
APR who are defending champions and winners of the 2011/12 league and Etincelles
will be Rwanda's flag bearer in the tournament.
Tanzania will be represented by Simba Sports Club, the former Vodacom Premier
League champions while Zanzibar Ocean View from the Isles will also be making
their debut in the championship.
Other 2010 regional league champions who will take part in the tournament
include: Uganda's Bunnamwaya, Kenya's Ulinzi, Ethiopia's St. George,
El-Merreikh, Al Hilal from Sudan, Burundi's Vital'O, Port of Djibouti, Red Sea
of Eritrea and Somalia's Elman.
