A new naming convention is being finalized.

In its official statement, the LSFP announced that the 2025-2026 League Cup will have a new naming rights sponsor. This partnership, currently being finalized, will be unveiled in the coming weeks.

The quarter-finalists will each receive 500,000 FCFA. The teams eliminated in the round of 16 will each receive 250,000 FCFA.

According to the LSFP, every match played and every journey completed deserves concrete recognition, in a spirit of fairness and motivation for all teams involved.

Travel expenses fully covered

In the interest of equal opportunity, the LSFP has also decided to cover all travel expenses for clubs throughout the competition. This significant measure aims to remove the logistical and financial constraints that could hinder the participation of some clubs.
