## Second round

The draw for the second round of matches was held on 30 July 2012 and ties were played from 4 August to 12 August. Having been beaten, Malindi United, Bidco United, MOYAS and Shabana Kisii still withdrew from the tournament.

## Third round

The third round of matches was played on the weekend of 1−2 September in various venues, all at 15:00 UTC+3 time.

## Quarter-finals

Leopards and K.R.A. were now to meet Karuturi Sports and Sofapaka respectively. The decision raised many eyebrows as questions arose regarding the true motive behind the FKF's decision.

## Semi-finals

The semi-finals are being played on the weekend of 17–18 November. They were to be played on the weekend on 20–21 October, but the dates were pushed so as not to clash with the Kenyan Premier League schedule.
