Following the new prize money structure of CAF inter-club competitions, Dreams FC will be receiving a whopping $400,000 for securing qualification to the group stage of the 2023/24 CAF Champions League.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced a forty percent (40%) increment in its prize money for the Champions League and Confederation Cup in May 2023.
It was announced earlier by CAF President Patrice Motsepe that there has been a 40% increment in the Champions League prize money to $2.5 million but the winner will now get a $1.5 million boost that totals $4 million.
The Confederation Cup prize money was previously $1.25 million but the champion will get a $750,000 raise that take it up to $2 million.
The Champions League runner-up will earn $2 million while the Confederation Cup runner-up will rack in $1 million. The Champions League and Confederation Cup semi-finalists will take home $1.2 million and $750,000 respectively and $900,000 and $550,000 for the quarter-finalists of the two competitions.
The teams that finish in the Champions League group stage will earn $700,000 while those in the Confederation Cup will earn $400,000.
This means Ghana's sole representative in the Confederation Cup, Dreams FC will be earning $400,000 for their first-ever appearance in the group stage of the competition.
The historic qualification was secured after eliminating FC Kallon of Sierra Leone 3-2 on aggregate in the two-legged fixture of the Confederation Cup preliminary round.
Dreams FC recorded a 2-1 win over FC Kallon in the first leg tie at the Accra Sports Stadium before holding FC Kallon to a 1-1 stalemate in today's game.
