The President of the Confederation of African Football (Caf) Patrice Motsepe believes having separate prize money for players in Caf’s inter-cub competitions will boost competitiveness.
The former Mamelodi Sundowns Chief Executive Officer reveals what is given to clubs for winning the Caf Champions League and Confederation Cup is not enough.
Since taking over the reign as Caf President earlier this year, the South African has also maintained that the prize money for all Caf competitions is inadequate.
According to him, introducing separate packages solely for players would raise the drive of players in the competitions.
“Per my experience as a club CEO, the prize money for the various inter-club competitions is not enough,” he said in his working visit to Ghana.
“The players don’t always have their fair share of the prize money, so having a separate prize money allocation for players will serve as a huge motivation factor.”
Currently, the prize money dedicated for the winners of the Caf Champions League and Confederation Cup is $2.5 million and 1.25 million, respectively.
