The CECAFA Women's Championship is an association football tournament for teams from Eastern Africa organized by Council for East and Central Africa Football Associations (CECAFA). The next edition was scheduled for 11 to 20 September 2016.
The first tournament was played in Zanzibar in 1986 and won by the host team. After that there was no tournament for the next 20 years. The try for reviving the women's championship in the CECAFA region had been attempted in Zanzibar for October 2007. But the tournament was cancelled and never played.
The 2016 edition was hosted by Uganda and played in Jinja. There were no other bids to host the tournament. Burundi are expected to play their first official FIFA recognized games. Seven teams will take part, Group A: Uganda, Kenya, Burundi, Zanzibar and Group B: Ethiopia, Tanzania, Rwanda.
The next edition was proposed for 2016.
