The FKF President's Cup is the top knockout tournament in Kenyan football and is the Kenyan equivalent to the FA Cup. It was started in the 1950s, but during its existence, the knockout tournament has had different names depending on largely, sponsorship, and as determined by the administration in charge.[1]

The winner of the Cup receives a direct ticket to represent Kenya in Africa's second-tier competition, lately known as the CAF Confederation Cup.[2]

In 2003 two different cup competitions were held in Kenya - due to politics - because the 4 semi-finalists of the President's Cup withdrew from the KFF and continued with their "Transparency Cup" while the KFF continued their tournament with already eliminated clubs. The 2020 edition was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[3] just a year after Betway betting firm was announced as the title sponsor. It continued in 2021[4] but was not played in 2022 due to a Government takeover of Kenyan football.[5] The competition returned in 2023 as Mozzart Bet Cup[6] following sponsorship from the gaming firm.
