The winner of the 2013 Africa Cup in South Africa will pick up US$1.5 million.
Media sources have revealed that CAF will spend US$ 10 million on prize money for this years tournament.
The losing finalist will take home US$1 million while the two semifilnalists regards of the third and fourth place play-off classification will get US$750,00 each.
All teams exiting at the quarterfinals will take home US$ 600,000 each.
Meanwhile, the teams that exit at the preliminary stage of the competition too will go home smiling.
The third placed side in each group will take home US$500,000 each while the bottom finishers go home with US$400,000 each.
The Africa Cup that kicked off on January 19, will close on February 10 in Johannesburg.
I hope that 1.5 comes to Zambia.Faz can make good use of it.
$1.5 million dollars is too low. A premier league footballer(high profile) can pay them that
When 24 players and 10 officials are paid $90000 and $120000 respectively, there is nothing to remain in the Treasury of either FAZ or the Government. CAF must be advised to reveal the prize money to $20 million. A boxer of WBA is paid more than $40 million to fight for 2 minutes in a knock out. Then rights to broadcast the matches are pegged at $1million. Multiply that by 500 TV stations. CAF administrators PLEASE DONT BE STINGE.
