Djibouti and Eritrea are expected to arrive tomorrow ahead of the Senior East and Central Africa Challenge Cup kicking off on Satuday.
TFF secretary general Frederick Mwakalebela said yesterday that flight schedules have compelled the two teams to arrive earlier than the scheduled date.
Thursday was the official arrival date set by the Council of East and Central African Football Associations (CECAFA).
Other teams are expected on the scheduled arrival date, he said, noting that preparations for the tournament are entirely complete. Referees and other match officials listed for the the two week event arrive tomorrow to attend the council's annual general meeting and election of new office bearers for Cecafa.
Meanwhile, Kilimanjaro Stars coach Marcio Maximo is expected to unveil the team's final squad selection of 20 players today.
Two more players will be included in the camp to facilitate smooth running of practice sessions, the TFF official noted. "We need to add two players in order to meet the number that will form two complete sides during training sessions," the official explained.
