The stage is set for a thrilling showdown in the 2025 Mozzart Bet Cup final as Nairobi United take on Gor Mahia on Sunday, June 29, 2025 at Ulinzi Sports Complex. With a CAF Confederation Cup ticket on the line and national silverware up for grabs, all eyes will be on this clash.

Nairobi United: The giant slayers writing history

Nairobi United have been the fairytale story of this year’s competition. In a season to remember, the second-tier side have not only secured promotion to the FKF Premier League but also stormed into the final of the Mozzart Bet Cup knocking out four top-tier clubs in the process.

Their journey began in the round of 64 with a 3-1 win over Global Connection, before entering a giant-killing run. They eliminated Tusker FC in the round of 32, holding the brewers to a 1-1 draw before winning 5-4 in a penalty shootout. In the round of 16, they repeated the feat, edging KCB 6-5 on penalties after a goalless draw.

The quarterfinals saw Naibois dominate former cup winners Kakamega Homeboyz with a commanding 2-0 win. In the semifinals, they faced a resilient Mara Sugar side, drawing 1-1 in regular time before triumphing 3-1 in yet another penalty shootout.

As they prepare for the final, the newly crowned FKF National Super League champions will be eyeing a historic double. A win would not only crown their dream season but also hand them a ticket to represent Kenya in the CAF Confederation Cup, emulating Mathare United, who in 1998 won the Moi Golden Cup as a second-tier team and earned promotion to the top tier in the same season.

Gor Mahia: Redemption and revival

Standing in their way is record Kenyan champions Gor Mahia, who are hungry for redemption after missing out on the FKF Premier League title to Kenya Police FC. The Mozzart Bet Cup now presents their last chance to claim silverware this season and secure continental football.

Gor Mahia’s road to the final has been dominant. They began their campaign with a 3-0 win over KSG in the round of 64, followed by a 5-0 victory against GAS FC in the round of 32. They then dispatched Bandari 2-0 in the round of 16 and beat Kariobangi Sharks by the same scoreline in the quarterfinals.

In the semifinals, Gor faced a stern test against Murang’a Seal, playing out a 2-2 draw in regulation time before edging the tie 5-3 in the shootout.

For Gor Mahia, lifting the Mozzart Bet Cup would mark their return to the continental stage and serve as a strong finish to an otherwise frustrating campaign.

Third-place playoff: Mara Sugar vs Murang’a Seal

Ahead of the final, Mara Sugar and Murang’a Seal will battle it out in the third-place playoff, with pride and a podium finish on the line. Both sides showed great character in the tournament and will be eager to cap off their cup runs with a victory.
