The Court of Arbitration for Sport has ruled that the Liberia Football Association's appeal against the Confederation of African Football's presidential election rule changes is not currently in their jurisdiction.

Cas was looking into appeals from the Liberia FA against changes to the Caf statutes, which take effect on Monday 3 December.

Liberian officials had asked for interim verdicts to block the amendments until a full hearing is held.

But Cas said in a statement on Friday that it was unable to be involved at present because it recognised Caf's assertions that the body has its own internal appeals procedure, which must be followed first, and also that the amendments had not yet come into effect.

Uganda completed it's group stage in perfect style with a convincing 4-0 thrashing of newcomers South Sudan in the Cecafa Tusker Cup at Namboole on Friday.

The meet offered stark contrast of the two sides, with South Sudan coming into the game with a mountain to climb in the face of an unbeaten Ugandan opposition.

Coach Bobby Williamson’s men were already into the quarter finals following earlier wins over Kenya and Ethiopia, and the debutants were yet to taste victory or at the very least, a goal.

But the hosts did not leave anything to spare.

Cecafa Tusker Cup organisers have succumbed to pressure following the despicable conditions at Namboole and moved Saturday games to two other stadiums.

Heavy rains in the past days have seen games played on a rather unplayable Namboole turf and the condition seemed to get out of hand oon Thursday but the two games went ahead nonetheless.

But something had to be done. “Namboole is in bad shape and we want to give it breathing space,” said Nicholas Musonye, Cecafa general secretary, at a hastily organized news conference on Friday morning in Kampala.

Two players who were expelled from Kenya's national team currently playing at the CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup over indiscipline will face no further disciplinary action.

AFC Leopards winger, Paul Were and Gor Mahia midfielder, Kevin Omondi were ordered back home on Wednesday by stand in coach James Nandwa after they broke team curfew following the team's 2-0 win over Southern Sudan on Tuesday.

Football Kenya Federation (FKF) declared on Friday that it had "pardoned the two Harambee Stars players sent back home from Kampala, Uganda for misconduct and would like the matter to come to rest."

Kenya’s Harambee Stars on Friday afternoon qualified for the quarter final of the ongoing CECAFA senior challenge cup after a 3-1 win over Africa Cup of Nations’ bound Ethiopia in their final Group A match played at the Namboole stadium in Kampala.

Kenya’s goals were scored by Rama Salim, Clifton Miheso and David Ochieng in that order.

The win ensures Kenya finished their preliminary matches on six points with two wins and a loss that came on the first day against Uganda Cranes. Ethiopia finishes on three points with their 1-0 win over debutants South Sudan who later on play Uganda Cranes.

Al-Merreikh beat Al-Hilal 3-1 on penalties to regain the Sudan Cup on Wednesday.

After a goalless draw with few clear cut chances, Egyptian goalkeeper Essam El-Hadary saved three Al-Hilal spot-kicks to guide Al-Merreikh to glory.

The result saw both team share silverware honours in Sudanese football, with Al-Hilal winning the league title.

The match proved to be a dour affair watched by a record low attendance, as both teams cancelled each other out. The poor turnout has been put down to the failure of Sudanese clubs and the national team.

Zambia coach Herve Renard says Nigeria are the "big team" in Group C of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, but remains confident that the Chipolopolo upstage the Super Eagles and win the group as they have done at every AFCON under his leadership.

The Frenchman has taken Zambia to two Nations Cup finals and on both occasions guided them to top their groups against stern opposition from the likes of Cameroon and Tunisia in 2010 and Senegal in 2012.

"The big team is Nigeria, they are a strong team, we know the quality of the players of Nigeria, we know they are strong but we will have to finish first in our group like in 2010 and 2012," the Frenchman opined in an interview in Lusaka this week, according to the Zambia Post.

Bottled water giants Voltic Ghana Limited has signed a US$100, 000 product-plus-cash deal as a sponsor of the Ghana Premier League.

The leading bottled-water manufacturer will provide 6,000 cartons of Voltic Natural Mineral Water and a cash component as part of the sponsorship.

A yearly cash amount of ¢ 65,000, for the next three years which started last September, making a total of ¢195,000 (US$ 100,000) has been factored into the contract.

The Senegal Football Federation (FSF) has been fined US$100,000 for the crowd violence at an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Ivory Coast in October.

The Confederation of African Football (Caf) have also barred the FSF from using the Leopold Sedar Senghor stadium for international games for a year.

Fans threw missiles onto the pitch with Senegal losing 2-0 on the night and 6-2 on aggregate causing the game to be abandoned after 76 minutes.

The Teranga Lions were disqualified from the Nations Cup shortly after the match.

Group C is set to become the tightest Group in the ongoing CECAFA Tusker Senior Challenge Cup at the Namboole Stadium in Kampala, Uganda. Zanzibar beat Rwanda 2-1, both Zanzibar goals being scored by danger man Khamis Mcha Khamis in each half.

The win sends Zanzibar to top of the pool with four points and a cleansheet while Rwanda stick to second with three points, same as Malawi who earlier beat Eritrea 3-2 in an earlier match.

In a pitch that no one would admire playing in, Zanzibar showed their intent to win the match by strategically avoiding short passing and instead resorting to long balls. Mcha scored the opener from such in the 8th minute tapping past Jean Claude Ndoli in the Rwandese goal.
