2013 CECAFA Cup knockout stage

The knockout stage of the 2013 CECAFA Cup began on 7 December with the quarter-finals and ended on 12 December with the final. Matches were played at the Mombasa Municipal Stadium in Mombasa and the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi.[1] The Moi Stadium in Kisumu was originally scheduled to host the semi-finals, but the matches were moved to the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos and the Mombasa Municipal Stadium to allow the stadium to be completely refurbished.[2][3]

Format

[edit]

The knockout stage involves the eight teams which advanced from the group stage: the top two teams from each group and the two best third-placed teams.

In this stage, teams play against each other once. The losers of the semi-finals play against each other in the third place playoff where the winners are placed third overall in the entire competition.

Of the Ksh. 8.7 million (approx. US$ 100,000) that has been allocated for prize money, the winners will receive Ksh. 5.6 million, while the runners-up will take home Ksh. 2.5 million. The third place playoff winners will receive Ksh. 600,000.[4]
