Zanzibari Cup Explained

The Zanzibari Cup is the top knockout football tournament in Zanzibar.

The first edition of the cup was in 1926.^[1] However, the cup was rarely played, as Zanzibari clubs usually participate in the Nyerere Cup or the Mapinduzi Cup together with clubs from Tanzania mainland.

A Zanzibari FA Cup was organized starting from 2019, with the winners qualifying for the CAF Confederation Cup.^[2]
