# 2013 CECAFA Cup knockout stage

The knockout stage of the 2013 CECAFA Cup began on 7 December with the quarter-finals and ended on 12 December with the final. Matches were played at the Mombasa Municipal Stadium in Mombasa and the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi. The Moi Stadium in Kisumu was originally scheduled to host the semi-finals, but the matches were moved to the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos and the Mombasa Municipal Stadium to allow the stadium to be completely refurbished.

## Format

The knockout stage involves the eight teams which advanced from the group stage: the top two teams from each group and the two best third-placed teams.
In this stage, teams play against each other once. The losers of the semi-finals play against each other in the third place playoff where the winners are placed third overall in the entire competition.
Of the Ksh. 8.7 million (approx. US$ 100,000) that has been allocated for prize money, the winners will receive Ksh. 5.6 million, while the runners-up will take home Ksh. 2.5 million. The third place playoff winners will receive Ksh. 600,000.
