The financial burdens of Enyimba FC and Enugu Rangers may be lessoned as the Confederation of African Football (CAF) begins the disbursement of financial rewards to the teams that featured in this season’s continental clubs’ competitions.
Together, the two Nigerian clubs will get $625,000.
According to CAF, the early disbursement is to reduce the financial burden carried by the 32 affected clubs during the current trying times occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the suspension of football activities.
CAF stated that the distribution, which has
since commenced, is to reduce the financial burden on the 32 clubs that reached
the group stages of the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup, during
these trying times.
“Clubs will receive their dues based on the
established prize monies for each competition till the quarter-final stage,
when the two competitions were suspended indefinitely due to COVID-19”.
The minimum guaranteed for clubs participating
in the CAF Champions League is $550,000. That is for the clubs that
dropped out after the group stage.
Incidentally, no Nigerian club got to that
stage. However, in the Confederation Cup, Enyimba got to the quarterfinals and
therefore will get $350,000.
Enugu Rangers on the other hand placed third
in their Confederation Cup group to gross $275, 000.
No Nigerian club made it to the group stage in
the more lucrative CAF Champions League.
