The 2009 Orange CECAFA Senior Challenge tournament was the 33rd edition of the CECAFA Cup football tournament that involves teams from East and Central Africa. The 2009 edition was hosted in Kenya.[1]
Notes:
Sudan was left out due to missing the deadline for the draw.[2]
French telecommunications company Orange agreed to sponsor the tournament.[3] Orange paid $175,000 USD for the privilege.
The Kenyan Government also paid $80,000 USD to sponsor the tournament. It is the first time in 15 years that the CECAFA Cup has been hosted in Kenya.
CECAFA unveiled tournament mascot Tembo, a friendly looking elephant in a black- and yellow-stripped jersey and orange shorts, standing with his left foot on a football. Tembo will spread the message "Uniting for Peace", the tournament's theme.
Television rights were sold to Kenya Broadcasting Corporation in partnership with South-African owned Super Sport.
