The Uganda U17 Women’s National Team, the Teen Cranes, have booked their place in the final of the CECAFA U17 Women’s Championship, where they will face hosts Tanzania.

Uganda secured their spot in the final with an impressive 3-0 victory over Kenya in the semifinals, while Tanzania defeated South Sudan 4-0 to set up a highly anticipated title clash.
