Eritrean Football Team
Coach: Negash Tekli
CECAFA Secretary General Nicholas Musonye has declared Uganda ready to host this year’s Cecafa Tusker Challenge Cup which gets underway on November 24 to December 8 in Kampala. “Everything is ready. Stadiums are ready, hotels and transport facilities are in place,” Musonye told Times Sport on Monday after the tournament’s draw held in Kampala. He added, “Teams and officials will be treated well and on top of that, we expect a thrilling competition.
Appointed in 2009 Tekli’s most competitive assignment was the 2014 World Cup pre-qualifier against Rwanda in November last year. Tekki managed a 1-1 draw in Asmara but lost 3-1 in Kigali. It showed the Red Sea Boys could compete but they had no chance to show this when they failed to enter in the 2011 Senior Challenge Cup which must have frustrated Tekli. Despite the long international inactivity he will fancy a real go at the so called big boys of the region.

I am too dissapointed that Eritrea’s football
is back to ,,loosers” status, despite players
great potential.
As I tried unsuccessfully several times to
take over again Eritrea coaching job, though
that there is no interest in getting performances.
Incomprehensibile is that you forgot that on
2006-2007 the world of football was amazed
by Eritrea’s ,,A” and U17 teams great improvement.
