Monday, December 22, 2025 - The winner of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco will receive a record $10 million in prize money, following an increase approved by the Confederation of African Football.
CAF President Patrice Motsepe announced the new prize
structure after a meeting of the CAF Executive Committee in Rabat, Morocco, on
the eve of the tournament.
The 2025 AFCON will run from December 21, 2025, to January
18, 2026.
According to CAF, the winner’s prize represents a 43 per
cent increase from the previous edition, where hosts Côte d’Ivoire earned $7
million after lifting the trophy.
The prize money has now doubled over a four-year period.
Winners of the 2021 AFCON in Cameroon received $5 million, before the figure
rose to $7 million at the 2023 tournament in Côte d’Ivoire, and now to $10
million for Morocco 2025 — a 100 per cent increase.
CAF also confirmed that the runners-up at AFCON 2025 will
receive $4 million, while the two losing semi-finalists will each earn $2.5
million.
The continental football body said the increase is part of
its ongoing efforts to boost the value, competitiveness and global appeal of
Africa’s premier football tournament.
