Afcon 2021: It is a shame for East Africa to even watch the draw - Omollo

The region failed to produce a representative for Afcon 21 despite taking part in the 2019 edition in Egypt

Gor Mahia assistant coach says Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania should be ashamed of even watching 2021 Africa Cup of Nations draw after failing to produce a team to take part in the biennial competition.

In the 2019 edition, the East Africa region was well represented as all the three nations made it to Egypt. Only the Cranes went past the group stage but were eliminated in the last 16 after falling to Senegal by a solitary goal.

The former Harambee Star believes the region has enough talent to compete with the best and it is 'shameful' East Africa is not amongst the 24 teams in the draw.
