All statistics correct as of 13 December 2015.

The 2015 FKF President's Cup (known as the GOtv Shield for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the 44th season of Kenya's top domestic cup competition. It kicked off on 20 June and concluded on 13 December, with the domestic broadcasting rights for the competition held by SuperSport.[2] Originally scheduled to begin on 6 June,[3] participating teams were required to pay a registration fee of KSh. 30,000/= each by 30 May to enter the tournament.[4] The competition's defending champions are Sofapaka, who beat second-tier side Posta Rangers 2–1 in the previous final. Unlike the previous competition, no teams were seeded and given byes to further rounds, with the Football Kenya Federation's media officer John Kariuki explaining the decision as a way of "trying to make the competition more exciting because this being the domestic cup competition, we want the thrill of big teams facing the prospect of losing in the hands of lower-ranked teams."[3]

Kenyan Premier League side Bandari beat second-tier Nakumatt 4–2 in the final to win their first ever title. They received 2,000,000/= in prize money and will represent Kenya in the preliminary round of the 2016 CAF Confederation Cup.[3]

Muhoroni Youth vs. Police abandonment

During the match between Premier League side Muhoroni Youth and National Super League side Police, a penalty was awarded in the 85th minute after Police player David Okiki committed a handball inside his own penalty area.[17] Just before the penalty was taken, an assistant coach from the Police bench ran onto the pitch and physically assaulted the referee, prompting the match to be halted for nearly 30 minutes before eventually being abandoned.[18] Muhoroni Youth were subsequently awarded the win and advanced to the quarter-finals.
