Ahead of the Cecafa Senior Challenge tournament to be held in Kenya starting December 2, Kenya's opponents Rwanda have promised to give their opponents a run for their money.
The New Times has quoted Rwanda coach Antoinne Hey saying they are coming to use the tournament as a preparation ground for CHAN that starts early next year.
They face Kenya in their opener.
"We have agreed that we will use local players in the CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup, which will help us to prepare the team for CHAN. We chose to maintain the same group which qualified for CHAN but there is still room for others depending on the improvement," Hey said.
"We are taking the competition seriously and we want good results, but first we are looking at how our players can gain confidence and experience during these games. Our players are young and many of them have been playing in local league and we believe they will gain a lot from playing those competitions," Hey added.
