The eight teams competing in the CAF Women’s Champions League, Morocco 2024, will each receive at least $150,000 in prize money. The tournament, established in 2021 under CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe’s leadership, has seen its prize pool grow by 52% this year, with the champions set to take home $600,000. This increase is part of CAF’s commitment to advancing women’s football across Africa, along with plans to invest in youth academies for both boys and girls.
Nigeria’s Edo Queens, competing in the Champions League for the first time after winning the WAFU B qualifiers, are the country’s sole representative. They will face Ethiopia’s CBE FC, South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns, and Egypt’s Masar FC in Group B.
Here is the prize breakdown for the 2024 tournament:
- Winner: $600,000

- 4th Place: $300,000
- 3rd in Group: $200,000 each
- 4th in Group: $150,000 each
For Edo Queens, this participation secures them over 200 million Naira just for reaching the tournament, highlighting the growing financial incentives in African women’s football.
