The knockout stage of the 2012 CECAFA Cup began on 3 December 2012 with the quarter-finals and ended on 8 December 2012 with the final. Matches were played at the Namboole Stadium[1][2][3][4] and the Lugogo Stadium in Kampala, Uganda.

The knockout stage involved 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 and receive US$ 10,000. The winners of the final receive US$30,000 and the runners-up US$20,000.[5][6]
