There's been a few changes to this year's East Africa Cup.
This year there will be teams from Sudan, Burundi and Zimbabwe getting involved: and both volleyball and sitting volleyball will feature. Sitting volleyball achieved full Paralympic status since 1980 and its inclusion reflects a desire on the part of organisers to connect with the community - which includes people with disabilities.
Remember that the East Africa Cup is not just a football tournament: it exists to celebrate people who use sport in their community throughout the year, it's a cultural event, it's an education event and it's a get-together for friends from around the world.
So although we will be welcoming many new faces and new ideas in 2011, the East Africa Cup remains a celebration of fellowship, learning and fun... plus of course the chance to watch and play football in Moshi, Tanzania in the foothills of Kilimanjaro.
See you there.
