Zimbabwe's national soccer team, the Warriors, could bank major prize money at next year's Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. The Confederation of African Football has a total prize pool worth thirty-two million dollars. Simply participating guarantees the squad five hundred thousand dollars. Advancing past the group stage, something they have never done, would increase their earnings significantly.
A third-place group finish pays seven hundred thousand. Making the Round of 16 brings eight hundred thousand. Reaching the quarter finals nets one point three million. The financial rewards escalate further from there, with semi-finalists getting two point five million. The tournament runner-up earns four million, and the champion team takes home seven million.
The Warriors completed their final training session at Harare's Rufaro Stadium before traveling to Morocco. Their officials claim preparations are final. Other competing nations like South Africa, Ghana, Egypt, Nigeria, Angola, and Mozambique are currently playing warm-up friendlies.
