CECAFA Club Championship 1994

In Khartoum.

NB: Silver Strikers of Lilongwe arrived a few days before the start
    of the tournament but were denied entrance by CECAFA General Secretary
    James Tirop (Kenya) for having registered late for the tournament;
    Kenyan side Gor Mahia arrived late for the opening match against
    El Merreikh but were unpunished; Silver Strikers remained in Khartoum
    for a few days in the hope of being allowed to enter but eventually
    returned home frustrated; out of protest Malawi left CECAFA, following
    the earlier example of Zambia and Zimbabwe, and never returned, later
    joining COSAFA instead.
