FOOTBALL – Africa’s top club competitions will get prize-money rises of up to 100 per cent this season, with payouts for the Champions League and Confederation Cup up by a combined $4 million to strengthen the continent’s teams globally, the CAF president said yesterday.
Winners of the CAF Champions League in the 2025-26 campaign will earn $6m, a 50pc rise, while the Confederation Cup champions will receive $4m, double the current prize.
CAF said the latest changes extend a steep prize-money increase since its president Patrice Motsepe took over in 2021.
