They have been placed in Group A together with Rayon Sport of Rwanda,
Ethiopia’s Coffee FC, KMKM of Zanzibar and South Sudan’s Atlbara in the
tournament scheduled for next month.
Mainland giants Young Africans have been handled what many might
consider to be a fair draw in the 2014 East and Central Africa Club
Championship (Kagame Cup).
They have been placed in Group A together with Rayon Sport of Rwanda,
Ethiopia’s Coffee FC, KMKM of Zanzibar and South Sudan’s Atlbara in the
tournament scheduled for next month in Kigali, Rwanda. The tournament
which has attracted a record 14 clubs will kick-off on August 8 and not 9
as earlier announced. It will end on August 24, one day more from the
earlier schedule. A total of 34 matches will be telecast live by
Supersport and will be staged at Amahoro and Nyamirambo stadiums in
Rwanda.
Commenting, Yanga Secretary General, Beno Njovu said they are okay
with the draws because the tournament involves the very same teams of
the East and Central Africa zone. Yanga are five times Kagame Cup
champions.
“I haven’t seen which teams we have been pooled together with, I have
only heard from media about the draw and group, but we are ok to face
any teams because it’s our job to play and another thing is that we are
going to meet the usual teams we’ve played against in the past,” said
Njovu.
