Prize Money — Final Tournament (WAFCON 2024 / 2025 edition)
For the WAFCON held in Morocco (delayed 2024 edition, played in 2025), CAF announced a significantly increased prize pool:
Overall Prize Fund: USD 3,475,000
Distribution:
Winner: USD 1,000,000
Runner-up: USD 500,000
Third place: USD 350,000

While the overall pool reflects a huge boost—45% increase over previous editions, with the winner’s share doubled—this distribution applies only to the teams participating in the final tournament.
Qualifying Stages
There is no prize money allocated by CAF for the WAFCON qualifying rounds.
Available CAF documentation and press releases only outline awards for the final tournament stages.
Financial rewards begin only once teams reach the WAFCON group stage, not during early-round qualification matches .
