Gor Mahia, the reigning FKF Premier League champions, will begin their title bid with a clash against National Division Two Eastern Zone side KSG Ogopa. KSG Ogopa has been in impressive form, sitting at the top of Zone E standings with 17 points from nine matches, having won five, drawn two, and lost two.

The team will be determined to kick off the tournament with a resounding performance.
Kenya Police, the defending champions, will look to assert their dominance in the tournament as they begin their campaign against National Division Two Central Zone side Superior Hotel. Currently sitting seventh in their Zone B standings, Superior Hotel has accumulated 18 points from 13 matches, having won five, drawn three, and lost five. Kenya Police are in exceptional form, topping the FKF Premier League standings, and their strong performance in the league will give them confidence as they seek to defend their title in the Mozzart Bet Cup.
