The 2022 CECAFA U17 Championship was the 5th CECAFA U-17 Championship organized by CECAFA (¨Council of East and Central Africa Football Association). It took place from October 3 to October 15, 2022 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia .[1]
This competition also served as the CECAFA qualifiers for the 2023 Africa U-17 Cup of Nations as the two finalists of the tournament represented CECAFA in the CAF U-17 continental competition.
The ten teams were initially drawn into two groups of five teams. Ethiopia, Tanzania, Somalia, South Sudan and Eritrea were drawn into Group A and Uganda, Djibouti, Sudan, Burundi and Rwanda were drawn into Group B. However, on 26 September, Eritrea and Rwanda withdrew from the competition, leaving both the groups with four teams.[2][3] On 1 October, Djibouti and Sudan were disqualified from the tournament after some of their players failed the MRI test, leaving Group B with only two teams.[4] The winners and the runners-up of each group advanced to the semi-finals.
