The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced a significant increase in the prize pool for the 2024 Women’s Champions League, raising the winner’s payout to $600,000, a 52% increase from previous years.
The tournament, set to kick off on November 9 in Morocco, will also provide financial support for all participating clubs, with each team guaranteed at least $150,000, CAF confirmed in a statement Thursday.
This boost in prize money is part of CAF’s broader efforts to grow women’s football across Africa. The governing body has also committed to investing in youth academies and raising the global profile of its competitions.
The updated prize structure includes:
- Winner: $600,000
- Runner-up: $400,000
- Third place: $350,000
- Fourth place: $300,000
- Third in group: $200,000 per team
- Fourth in group: $150,000 per team
Launched in 2021 under CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe, the Women’s Champions League has quickly become a key event in African women’s football. The increased prize pool for 2024 is expected to further boost the tournament’s appeal and encourage greater participation across the continent.
