AS FAR Guarantees $2 Million After Reaching Final, Eyes $6 Million Top Prize
AS FAR's achievement in reaching the CAF Champions League final has directly boosted the club's revenues. The Rabat-based team secured a significant financial injection after overcoming RS Berkane in the semi-finals, setting up a highly anticipated clash with South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns.
By reaching the final, the military club is guaranteed a prize of no less than $2 million, the amount allocated to the competition's runner-up, according to the new reward system approved by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
Rabie Hrimat's teammates now have the opportunity to significantly increase this financial return. The prize money could rise to $6 million if they manage to clinch the title against Mamelodi Sundowns.
AS FAR secured their qualification despite a 1-0 defeat in the second leg in Berkane. They advanced thanks to their commanding 2-0 victory in the first leg in Rabat, sealing their spot with a 2-1 aggregate score.
The military club will face a formidable opponent in the final. Mamelodi Sundowns demonstrated their strength by overcoming Tunisia's Espérance Sportive de Tunis with identical 1-0 victories in both the home and away legs.
