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]
