The 2016 KPL Top 8 Cup was the fifth edition of the tournament, which kicked off on 1 May and ended on 16 October.[1][2] It was contested by the top 8 teams of the 2015 season of the Kenyan Premier League: A.F.C. Leopards, Bandari, Gor Mahia, Muhoroni Youth, Sofapaka, Tusker, Ulinzi Stars and Ushuru.

Gor Mahia were the defending champions of the competition, having won their second title in the previous season after beating Sony Sugar 2–1 after extra time in the final played at the Moi Stadium in Kisumu. However, they were beaten in the final by winners Muhoroni Youth, who picked up their first title of the competition and KSh. 1,000,000/= in prize money.[3][4]

Format

[edit | edit source]

The tournament follows a single-elimination format for the quarter-finals and the final, where the winning team immediately advances to the next round or wins the tournament, respectively.

For the semi-finals, the tournament adopts a double-elimination format, where a team must win two legs to advance to the final. If both teams are equal on aggregate goals at the end of the two legs, a penalty shoot-out will be conducted to determine who advances to the final. The away goals rule also applies in this round.
