It usually takes a while before a new country is sanctioned by the Fifa and Caf.<\/p>\n<p>Zanzibar, a provisional member of the latter since 2007, is recognised by Cecafa as an independent state. &#8220;We only have four months before the championship kicks off and it&#8217;s unlikely that South Sudan will have already got the nod from the two bodies,&#8221; Musonye said.<\/p>\n<p>At present, the Cecafa region comprises 11 countries namely: North Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Zanzibar, Somalia, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Tanzania mainland.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Visit site:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201107140356.html\" title=\"South Sudan: Nation Faces Long Way to Cecafa Events\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">South Sudan: Nation Faces Long Way to Cecafa Events<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The Citizen (Dar\u00a0es\u00a0Salaam) Majuto Omary 13 July 2011 Dar es Salaam \u2014 The newly formed nation, South Sudan, has indicated its intention to participate in this year&#8217;s Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup, but their dream might not materialise owing to membership issues. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-460729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
