Kenya will play Estonia in the opening match on Friday from 6pm EAT, the first ever meeting between the two sides, after which Grenada will face hosts Rwanda at 9pm in the second match.
Winners of the two matches will faceoff in the final on Monday, 30th March, while losers will meet for the 3rd place play-off preceding the final.
