The 2011 CECAFA Cup was an international football competition consisting of East and Central African national teams. It was the 35th edition of the annual CECAFA Cup. The tournament was hosted by Tanzania for the second consecutive year and seventh time overall.{{cite web|title=CECAFA Challenge cup kicks off November 24|url=http://www.sportsnewsarena.com/?CECAFA-Challenge-cup-kicks-off-November-24.html|publisher=Sports News Arena|access-date=19 October 2011|date=27 September 2011}}

The tournament received Sh823 million (approximately $450,000) sponsorship from Serengeti Breweries Limited which covered the fees of the tournament such as the air tickets of all delegates, accommodations and prize money to name a few.{{cite news|last=Omary|first=Majutmo|title=Cecafa gets Sh823m in Tusker lager brand sponsorship deal|url=http://thecitizen.co.tz/sport/16-football/16718-cecafa-gets-sh823m-in-tusker-lager-brand-sponsorship-deal.html|work=The Citizen |location=Tanzania|date=3 November 2011|access-date=3 November 2011}} The competition was therefore known as the CECAFA Tusker Challenge Cup 2011.

The Council for East and Central Africa Football Associations (CECAFA) General Secretary Nicholas Musonye said that over 10 football associations applied to play as a guest team in the tournament.{{cite web|title=Cecafa Cup Groups revealed|url=http://www.supersport.com/football/tanzania/news/111109/Cecafa_Cup_Groups_revealed|publisher=SuperSport|access-date=9 November 2011|date=9 November 2011}} Out of all the applicants, the final shortlist was trimmed to four; Côte d'Ivoire, Malawi, South Africa and Zambia.{{cite web |url=http://www.starafrica.com/en/football/news/article/view/cecafa-settles-for-four-guest-teams-197785.html |title=Cecafa settles for four guest teams |publisher=Star Africa |date=22 October 2011 |access-date=20 November 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111124133816/http://www.starafrica.com/en/football/news/article/view/cecafa-settles-for-four-guest-teams-197785.html |archive-date=2011-11-24 |url-status=dead }} However the Confederation of African Football (CAF) stated that Côte d'Ivoire and Zambia were not eligible to play in the competition as they had qualified for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations. Teams are not able to compete in another competition within a two-month period of the Africa Cup of Nations.{{cite web|title=Zambia out of CECAFA|url=http://www.times.co.zm/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2720:zambia-out-of-cecafa&catid=38:sports&Itemid=48|work=Times of Zambia|access-date=6 November 2011}}

The invitation was eventually extended to Malawi.{{cite news |url=http://www.malawitoday.com/news/84463-malawi-finally-invited-play-cecafa-senior-chalenge-cup-2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111112071617/http://www.malawitoday.com/news/84463-malawi-finally-invited-play-cecafa-senior-chalenge-cup-2011 |url-status=dead |archive-date=12 November 2011 |title=Malawi finally invited to play CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup 2011 |author=Majamanda, Jailos |work=Malawi Today |date=9 November 2011 |access-date=20 November 2011 }} However, it was then reported that they withdrew, citing financial constraints and lack of preparation time due to the late invitation.{{cite news |url=http://www.maravipost.com/malawi-politics/society/6076-govt-u-turns-on-flames-cecafa-participation.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201123202608/http://www.maravipost.com/malawi-politics/society/6076-govt-u-turns-on-flames-cecafa-participation.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=November 23, 2020 |title=Govt.

Eritrea were initially scheduled to participate but withdrew due to lack of funds and were replaced with Namibia. It was suggested by some media outlets that Eritrean authorities were mindful of players attempting to seek political asylum whilst in Tanzania.{{cite web|title=Namibia take up Eritrea CECAFA slot|url=http://www.capitalfm.co.ke/sports/2011/11/16/nambia-take-up-eritrea-cecafa-slot/|publisher=Capital Sports|access-date=17 November 2011|date=16 November 2011}} Namibia eventually turned down the invitation, stating that it would disrupt the Namibia Premier League schedule.{{cite web|title=Namibia turns down Cecafa invite|url=http://www.namibian.com.na/news/full-story/archive/2011/november/article/namibia-turns-down-cecafa-invite/|author=Nikodemus, Sheefeni|work=The Namibian|date=18 November 2011|access-date=23 November 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609170525/http://www.namibian.com.na/news/full-story/archive/2011/november/article/namibia-turns-down-cecafa-invite/|archive-date=2012-06-09|url-status=dead}} They were replaced by Zimbabwe.{{cite web |url=http://www.starafrica.com/en/football/news/article/view/zimbabwe-replaces-namibia-for-cecafa-cup-204789.html |title=Zimbabwe replaces Namibia for CECAFA Cup |publisher=Star Africa |date=25 November 2011 |access-date=25 November 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111201042800/http://www.starafrica.com/en/football/news/article/view/zimbabwe-replaces-namibia-for-cecafa-cup-204789.html |archive-date=2011-12-01 |url-status=dead }}
