Zanzibar coach Hemed Suleiman has revealed the reason his side failed to make an impact at the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup.
The Heroes were eliminated from the regional competition after losing their third group match by a solitary goal to Kenya’s Harambee Stars. Zanzibar had also lost and drew their other two matches against Tanzania and Sudan.
Coach Suleiman has blamed the team’s early exit from the tournament on his team lacking match fitness going into the tournament.

“My team also lacked match fitness, we never meet and train together, since taking part in Cecafa in 2017, we only met for a week and travelled to Kampala to play in the tournament,” Suleiman told Goal.
