Bendel Memorial Secondary School, established in 2011, will be the centre for accommodation and seminar rooms for 600 girls that will be participating in this year's East Africa Cup. It is located 5 kilometers away from Moshi.

Moshi Technical Secondary School, established in 1957, is the centre of the EAC activities and is located about 3 kilometres from Moshi.

This school will accommodate 350 girls and 950 boys; it has 40 boys’ dormitories that will each accommodate at least 30 boys and 80 girls' dormitories that will each accommodate 4 girls. 

Moshi Technical Secondary School
Moshi Technical Secondary School is among the schools in Moshi and in Tanzania that teaches a normal secondary school curriculum in addition to technical subjects such as carpentry, welding and drawing.

The school has a provision for admitting disabled students who are taught the same subjects as other students.

The school sits in a compound of about 40 acres with two football fields, a volleyball field, a tennis court, a basketball court and over 20 class rooms; with trees all over the place it is a very conducive environment for children to learn.
