The 2013 CECAFA Cup (known as the GOtv CECAFA Challenge Cup for sponsorship reasons)^[1] was the 37th edition of the annual CECAFA Cup, an international football competition consisting of national teams of member nations of the Council for East and Central Africa Football Associations (CECAFA). The tournament was held in Kenya from 27 November to 12 December,^[2] where matches were played in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Machakos and Nakuru.

Sponsorship

On 21 November, CECAFA announced that GOtv would be the title sponsors of the tournament, having committed Ksh. 11.25 million towards the organisation of the event and a further Ksh. 45 million towards the broadcasting of all 26 matches. Other companies that are sponsoring this year's tournament are Coca-Cola, who committed Ksh. 6.5 million, and UAP Insurance, who committed Ksh. 5.5 million.^[1][3][4]
