Rwanda U-23 will not participate in the 2021 CECAFA due to the recrudescence of the Covid-19 pandemic in the region and Rwanda in particular.
The Rwanda Football Federation, FERWAFA has announced that the Amavubi U-23 will not be participating in the 2021 CECAFA tournament due to be held in Bahir-Dar, Ethiopia from July 17 to July 31, 2021, due to the intensity of Covid-19 in the region and Rwanda which raises assumptions of the presence of the highly infectious Covid-19 Delta Variant.
The Rwandan team had been in training for two weeks under the guidance of coach Sosthene Habimana, preparing this tourney.
This means that the Scandinavian team will not take part in the CAF Women Champions League Zonal Qualifiers scheduled to take place in Kenya from next week.
