 CAF Introduces $50,000 Grants for Clubs in Preliminary Rounds of Continental Competitions


The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced a financial boost for clubs participating in the preliminary stages of its interclub competitions. 


For the first time, each club competing in the early rounds of the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup will receive a $50,000 grant.

Victoria United and Fovu de Baham will each receive $50,000 ($29.8 million FCFA) from CAF to prepare for their African Cup clash.
