2000 CECAFA Cup

July 2014 CECAFA Cup 2000 Uganda 18 November – 2 December 9 CECAFA Uganda Uganda A 8 Uganda Uganda B Ethiopia 1996 20 61 UGA Hassan MubiruUGA Andrew Mukasa(5 goals each) 1999 2001 The 2000 CECAFA Cup was the 24th edition of the football tournament, which involves teams from Southern and Central Africa. The matches were played in Uganda, a decision which Tanzania protested, but to no avail. Tanzania were also banned from international football by FIFA, the world football governing body. The matches were played from 18 November to 2 December 2000. Prior to the tournament, Djibouti withdrew due to monetary difficulties, but re-entered. Sudan and Zanzibar also withdrew, but stayed out. The reasoning behind their withdrawal was unknown. Nine teams entered the tournament, as opposed to the twelve teams competing at the previous tournament in 1999. However, there were only eight different nations competing in the tournament as Uganda entered two teams: Uganda (A) and Uganda (B). Uganda (A) was in Group A, and Uganda (B) was in Group B, enabling the two to potentially meet each other in the final, as occurred here. Both Ugandas topped their respective groups, and progressed to the knockout stages along with Ethiopia and Rwanda. Uganda (A) beat Rwanda, and Uganda (B) beat Ethiopia to mean that "the Cranes" (Uganda A) and "the Lions" (Uganda B) would meet in the final. In the final, Uganda (A) captained by George Ssimwogerere of Express, won 2–0.http://www.observer.ug/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6520:ugandas-8-cecafa-winning-captains Uganda's 8 CECAFA winning captains The Observer 20 December 2009 19 July 2014 Zziwa, Hassan Badru Ethiopia finished third after beating Rwanda on penalties 4–2 after the match finished 0–0.

The 1999 champions were Rwanda (B), in 2000 they emerged from their group second, after Uganda (B), 5 points behind but 2 points ahead of the next team, Eritrea. They were then knocked out in the semi-finals against Uganda (A). The 2000 champions, Uganda, were knocked out in the 1999 semi-finals by none other than Rwanda.https://www.rsssf.org/tablese/eastcentrafr.html Rwanda, Jul 24 – Aug 7, 1999 Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation (RSSSF) 17 April 2014 18 July 2014 Participants 9 teams from 8 countries competed, three teams from the original tournament competed (excluding Tanganyika, which changed names and is currently called Tanzania), all 8 nations at this tournament had competed at the 1999 CECAFA Cup. 18em Burundi Djibouti Eritrea Ethiopia 1996 Kenya Rwanda 1962 Somalia Uganda Uganda A Uganda Uganda Bhttps://www.rsssf.org/tablese/eastcentrafr.html#00 Uganda, Nov 18 – Dec 2, 2000 Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation (RSSSF) 17 April 2014 18 July 2014 Group stage The group stage began on 18 November and ended on 27 November with Group A's final match between Ethiopia and Burundi. At the end of the group stage, the teams who finished bottom of their group were eliminated, along with the two teams above them (in Group A), and the team above them (in Group B), whereas the teams positioned in the top two slots in the groups progressed to the knock-out rounds. Due to there being an odd number of teams, Group A contained more matches and an additional team, with a total of 5 to Group B's 4 teams. If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings (in descending order):June 2023 Number of points obtained in games between the teams involved; Goal difference in games between the teams involved; Goals scored in games between the teams involved; Away goals scored in games between the teams involved; Goal difference in all games; Goals scored in all games; Drawing of lots.
