Dreams FC's achievement not only marks a significant moment in Ghanaian football history but also comes with a substantial financial reward of US$750,000 for reaching the semi-finals.

In addition to the historic achievement, Dreams FC stands to earn an extra US$250,000 if they progress to the final, which would bring their total earnings to US$1,000,000 even if they finish as runners-up.

Winning the competition would see their earnings double to a remarkable US$2,000,000. These prize amounts are based on the revised prize money structure announced by CAF in 2023.

Coach Karim Zito and his team will be aiming to continue their historic run and potentially become the first Ghanaian club to lift the CAF Confederation Cup in its current format.
