Hayatou jetted into Kampala, Uganda yesterday and will be at the Namboole Stadium to watch Kenya's opening match against Uganda Cranes, the highlight of the first day.
Hayatou's presence will be a big boost for Cecafa, which is the only region that hosts a tournament that involves teams from their geographical area after the demise of the COSAFA.
He is expected to hold talks with Cecafa chairman Leodegar Tenga and the secretary general Nicholas Musonye. His visit is partly in recognition of Cecafa's continued stable development of the football game in the region.
Hayatou's visit follows an invitation extended to him by the Tenga. Other confirmed members of the delegation include Mohamed Raouraoua, Constant Omari and Ngangue Appolinaire.
