The Harambee Stars are in line to win hundreds of millions if they mastermind a triumph in the upcoming 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN).

Kenya is set to co-host the delayed competition alongside her East African neighbours Tanzania and Uganda from February 1 to February 8, with a lot at stake for every nation involved.

Africa's football governing body CAF released a statement on Tuesday, January 7, revealing that the prize money for the winner and the total prize money would be hiked by 75% and 32% respectively.

This means the winner of the tournament is set to receive nearly double the previous prize money as CAF revealed the cash kitty was broadened to USD 3.5 million (approximately Ksh 451.5 million) from the previous USD 2 million (approximately Ksh 258 million).
