The second edition of the CECAFA U-17 Tournament, all games were originally to be played in Nairobi, Kenya[1] but have since been moved to Sudan.[2] due to financial reasons, the Sudanese FA and El Merreikh Investment Group have agreed to sponsor the tournament.

The cup is also referred to as the Bashir Cup and the Hassan el Bashir Cup by East African media due to Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir's involvement.

There is a possibility that a third group will be based at Kessala.
