The groups have been reduced to three and preliminary fixtures have been changed after the three nations confirmed they will not be participating
The Cecafa Secretariat has been forced to revise fixtures of the upcoming Senior Challenge Cup after Ethiopia, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo withdrew.
The number of groups have also been reduced to two from the initial three and now Pool A has Uganda, Somalia, Burundi, Djibouti and Eritrea.
Kenya are in Group B alongside Tanzania, Sudan and Zanzibar. DR Congo, who were the guest nation had been pooled in Group B with South Sudan.
But due to their confirmation, that they would not be part of the December 7-19 tournament, Group C has been scrapped with Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar consequently moving to Group B.
The top two teams in either group will advance to the semi-finals which are expected to start on December 17.
