Football Kenya Federation Premier League reigning champions Gor Mahia are set to pocket in excess of Ksh 6 million for reaching the second round of the Caf Champions League.
In a letter from Caf signed by acting General Secretary Abdelmounaim, teams that also played in the final preliminary round of the Caf Confederation Cup will get a bonus.
"In the spirit of reducing the financial burden of the participating clubs in Caf inter-club competitions that are not entitled to receiving any prize money, we have the pleasure to inform you that Caf Executive Committee - during its last meeting held on December 10, 2020, in Egypt decided to allocate a financial prize to assist the teams through the Covid-19 pandemic," read a statement obtained by Goal.
The body went on to confirm the amount that should be expected by the teams fitting the aforementioned bracket.
"Champions League; since the clubs eliminated from the second preliminary round of the Champions League qualification to the additional second preliminary round of the Confederation Cup, only the clubs eliminated from this round will benefit from the $62,500 prize money.
"Confederation Cup; the clubs that were initially engaged in the Caf Confederation Cup will also receive the $62,500 prize money."
