The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced a $9.48 million profit for the 2023–2024 financial year, marking a return to profitability after several years of financial losses.
CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe revealed the figures during the 47th CAF Ordinary General Assembly held on Monday, October 6, 2025, in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. He said the positive results are part of the organisation’s turnaround strategy launched in 2021 to make African football globally competitive and financially sustainable.
Four years ago, CAF was battling a significant financial deficit and multiple legal disputes. Under Dr. Motsepe’s leadership, the organisation implemented strict financial controls, increased transparency, and expanded its commercial partnerships, leading to strong growth in revenue and profitability.
CAF’s total revenue rose to $166.42 million, supported by a surge in sponsorships and global interest in African football. The governing body has also aligned its expenditure priorities with football development, allocating $81 million for prize money, $19 million for tournament organisation, $35 million for football development, and $21 million for governance and administration.
CAF’s commercial strategy has helped attract more global partners, growing the number of sponsors to 16 for the 2024–2025 season. This move has strengthened the organisation’s position as a premier platform for global brands seeking to invest in African football.
Dr. Motsepe said that the financial turnaround is not only about profits but about reinvesting in players, clubs, and Member Associations to ensure that the benefits of growth are widely shared.
CAF has significantly increased prize money across its major competitions. The TotalEnergies CAF Champions League winners’ prize rose by 60% to $4 million, while the total prize pool increased by 41% to $17.6 million. From the 2025–2026 season, clubs reaching the CAF Interclub preliminary rounds will each receive $100,000 in financial support.
The CAF Women’s Champions League winners’ prize climbed by 52% to $600,000, and group-stage teams will also receive more funding. The TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024 prize pool rose 32% to $10.5 million, with winners taking home $3.5 million, up by 75%.
CAF also raised the Super Cup winners’ prize to $500,000, a 150% increase. The TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) saw Nigeria earn $1 million as champions—double the previous edition—while the total prize pool reached $3.475 million, representing a 45% rise.
The TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Côte d’Ivoire 2023 winners received $7 million, a 40% increase, with total prize money amounting to $32 million.
