The 2023 EKIFF El Kadsreian Cup will be the fifteenth El Kadsreian Cup, a quadriennal football tournament contested by the men's national teams of EKIFF member associations. It will be held in Raland from 14 June to 15 July 2023. Defending champions Sentan have already qualified for the tournament, while Raland qualified automatically as hosts.

Raland won the bid to host the tournament in 2019. Mahri, Kowokam, Luciferia and the Oza Islands also submitted their bids to host the tournament.

Logo and slogan
The tournament's logo was unveiled at the Museum of Design in Kirato, Raland, on September 7, 2021. It depicts a stylised version of the El Kadsreian Cup trophy, with some transparent parts and a black outline.

The tournament's slogan, "#WelcomingFootball", was also unveiled at the same time. It was chosen to describe the fact how Raland would be hosting the El Kadsreian Cup for the first time. The slogan originally started off as a hashtag used on Twitter posts posted by Ralander users, shortly after Raland won the bid to host the tournament.

Group Stage
The 24 teams were divided into 6 groups of 4, where the top two from each group and the four best third-placed teams qualified for the final phase.
