Looking back, the winners of the TotalEnergies CAF AFCON Cameroon 2021 pocketed USD 5 million. The 2025 prize represents a 100 per cent increase over four years, underlining CAF’s commitment to rewarding excellence in African football.
The runners-up will receive USD 4 million, while the two semi-finalists are set to earn USD 2.5 million each.
Meanwhile, Mali’s national team head coach, Tom Saintfiet, expressed confidence that his team is ready to compete for the AFCON trophy in Morocco. Despite having a talented squad, Mali has yet to claim an AFCON title. Saintfiet emphasized that Les Aigles are approaching the tournament with seriousness and ambition.
He also praised the quality of Morocco’s tournament infrastructure, including stadiums, hotels, and overall organization. Mali has been drawn into a challenging Group A alongside hosts Morocco, Zambia, and Comoros.
