History

The four-nation tournament was aimed at promoting East African football and was organized by the Tanzania Football Association. South African Breweries (SAB) sponsored the first three editions and did not renew it thereafter. [3]

The inaugural tournament was held in Nairobi in 2000, with Uganda emerging as the winners. Tanzania won the 2001 edition as hosts. Kenya, the runners-up in both 2000 and 2001, won the third edition [4] held in Tanzania once again in 2002 after seeing off Uganda 3-2 on post match penalties after a 1-1 draw.
