The Kenya Cup final referees have been confirmed ahead of the highly anticipated clash between Kabras Sugar RFC and KCB Rugby set for Saturday, May 9.
Experienced official Constant Cap will take charge as the centre referee, marking his fifth Kenya Cup final in the middle. The match will also be a milestone moment for Cap, as it will be his 158th game officiating in Kenya’s top tier competition.
He will be assisted by Victor Oduor, who handled the 2023 Kenya Cup final, alongside Saidi Kenya, who completes the officiating team as the second assistant referee.
“Constant Cap will be the man in charge of the 2025/26 Kenya Cup Final. He is no stranger to this stage, as this will be his fifth Kenya Cup final appearance and his one hundred and fifty-eighth Kenya Cup game. He will be assisted by Victor Oduor and Saidi Kenya,” the Kenya Rugby Union confirmed.
The final will once again be staged at Kakamega Showground, popularly known as The Forest, with kickoff set for 3:00 p.m.

Kabras Sugar RFC earned the right to host the decider after finishing top of the regular season standings, securing home advantage.
This will be the fifth time Kakamega Showground hosts the Kenya Cup final, having previously staged the 2018/19, 2022/23, 2023/24, and 2024/25 editions, with Kabras winning the last three.
Kabras have now hosted the final for six consecutive seasons, with two of those held at the Bull Ring and Nandi Bears.
The Sugarmen are chasing a fifth straight Kenya Cup title, while KCB Rugby will be aiming to reclaim the crown for the first time since 2021.
