The Confederation of African Football (CAF) President, Dr Patrice Motsepe, has revealed the rationale behind the significant increase in prize money for the\u00a02024 African Nations Championship (CHAN)<\/a>, raising the total prize pool to $10.4 million.<\/p>\n

The 8th edition of the tournament, scheduled to run from August 2 to 30, 2025, will feature 19 teams, including defending champions Senegal, record holders Morocco and DR Congo, alongside Nigeria, Algeria, Guinea, and Zambia, across three host nations: Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.<\/p>\n

CAF confirmed a 75 percent increase in total prize money compared to the last edition, with the eventual champions set to earn $3.5 million, up from the previous $2 million.<\/p>\n

The runner-up will receive $1.2 million, while the third- and fourth-placed teams will take home $700,000 and $600,000, respectively.<\/p>\n

Each of the four losing quarter-finalists will earn $450,000. Teams finishing third or fourth in their group will pocket either $300,000 or $200,000, depending on group size, while bottom-placed sides in five-team groups will receive $200,000 each.<\/p>\n

CAF President Motsepe said the prize money increase aligns with the organisation\u2019s strategic efforts to promote and develop football across the continent.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThis increase in prize money will support the development of locally based players and help strengthen the global competitiveness of African football,\u201d Motsepe said in a statement.<\/p>\n

He emphasised that the CHAN tournament, which exclusively features players active in their domestic leagues, is critical for grassroots talent development and improving the profile of African football worldwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tournament is a key part of our strategy to make African football more appealing to fans, sponsors, and global broadcasters,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Nigeria\u2019s Super Eagles B<\/a>\u00a0team will return to the tournament after missing the last edition.
\nFans across Africa and beyond can look forward to a month-long festival of African football.<\/p>\n
