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 . 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 Ksh. 2 million in prize money and will represent Kenya in the preliminary round of the 2016 CAF Confederation Cup.[3]

Third place play-off[]

The third place play-off was scheduled to take place on 13 December.[20] Muhoroni Youth were handed a walkover after Gor Mahia failed to show up for the match. Gor Mahia players reportedly boycotted the match over unpaid wages, and forfeited the Ksh. 500,000 in prize money meant for the fourth-placed team in the process.[21] The club's secretary-general Ronald Ngala later released a statement saying Gor Mahia would not participate in future editions of the tournament until he saw an improvement in the way it is run.[22]
