The Harambee Stars are set for a hefty payout of Ksh25.8 million just for participating in the upcoming 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN).
The 19-team tournament, which was originally set to take place in 2023, was delayed twice, but it's all systems go with the countdown to the August 2 kickoff underway.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) confirmed a record prize pool for this year's tournament, which is set at Ksh 1.3 billion (USD10.4 million), marking a 32 per cent increase from the Ksh1.02 billion (USD7.9 million) awarded at the last edition of the competition, held in Algeria in 2023.
As far as the breakdown of the prize money, the winning team will be awarded Ksh452.2 million ($3.5 million), which is a considerable hike from the Ksh 258.4 million (USD2 million) awarded to Senegal, who were champions of the previous edition of the tournament.
