The 2013 Kagame Interclub Cup was the 38th edition of the Kagame Interclub Cup, which is organised by CECAFA. It began on 18 June and ended on 1 July 2013. Sudan hosted the tournament for the fifth time since it officially began in 1974. Vital'O, who have won the Burundi Premier League a record 18 times, beat Primus National Football League side Armée Patriotique Rwandaise to win the tournament for the first time in their history.[1] Prior to the beginning of the competition, clubs from Kenya, South Sudan and Tanzania withdrew from the tournament due to security concerns.[2]

Participants

On 22 May 2013, the draw for clubs to participate in the tournament was released.[3] Due to dropouts the fixtures and group draws were amended only on 15 July, three days before the tournament.[4]
