Happy to review this.

"The matches were played in Uganda as opposed to Tanzania, and although Tanzania protested at the resolution, the tournament was still held in Uganda, perhaps partially due to the reason that Tanzania were banned from international football by FIFA, the world football governing body", this reads discombobulated. There is no citation to support this and needs to be rephrased to avoid repetition.
Per MOS:B&P, use square parentheses when bracketing a bracket. In other words “Ethiopia to mean that "the Cranes" (Uganda [A])”
Remove unnecessary spacing in the scores (Rwanda on penalties 4–2, not 4 – 2)
Hide the F.C. bit of Express.
"The CECAFA Cup is considered Africa's oldest football tournament, and involves teams from Central and Southern Africa.", considered by who?
Avoid noun plus -ing cases like "The tournament was originally named the Gossage Cup, contested by the four nations of Kenya, Uganda, Tanganyika (modern day Tanzania), and Zanzibar,[4] running from 1929 until 1965.[5]". This sentence for example could be more concise: The tournament was originally named the Gossage Cup, contested by the four nations of Kenya, Uganda, Tanganyika (modern day Tanzania), and Zanzibar; it ran from 1929 until 1965."
Why are full names used in the scores?
Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation isn't a work, but a publisher. There is no 'The' in its name.
Book publisher for Ref 5?

No dead links or dabs. Will pass once comments have been addressed; on hold for a week. Lemonade51 (talk) 15:24, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Changed all mentioned except the full names in scores thing which I didn't quite understand. I am on holiday until the end of the month, and am trying to stay off Wikipedia for a bit. Thanks for the review, Mat ty.007 18:45, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Right, have made a few changes and will pass this now. Lemonade51 (talk) 20:46, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
