However, they took part in the preliminary round of the African Championship in 1984 and 2010, but were eliminated from both tournaments in the preliminary round. The greatest international successes were achieved at the COSAFA Cup when they finished second in 2002 and 2003. The CECAFA Cup has been won three times, the last time in 1988 .
