The winner of Côte d’Ivoire 2023 will now receive USD 7,000,000, while the runner-up will receive USD 4,000,000. Each of the two semi-finalists will receive USD 2,500,000, and each of the four quarter-finalists will receive USD 1,300,000.
Dr. Patrice Motsepe, the President of CAF, stated, “CAF has made significant progress over the past two years in increasing the Prize Money of the AFCON and all its other major competitions. We have increased the Prize Money of the AFCON Winner to USD 7 000 000 which is a 40% increase from the previous Prize Money.
