The Confederation of African Football, CAF, says it is planning to increase the prize money for the winner of its flagship competition, the Africa Nations Cup, AFCON.
CAF president, Dr Patrice Motsepe disclosed this Tuesday night in Yaounde, Cameroon during the draws for the 2021 AFCON. The present prize money for AFCON champions is $4.5m.
According to the South African-born business mogul, the AFCON is as good as other football competitions around the world and therefore CAF wants to make it “self-sustaining, competitive and exciting”.
