THE Warriors are R1,9 million richer after reaching the quarter-finals of the African Nations Championships (Chan) finals for the first time.
The local organising committee (LOC) of the competition released the prize money for the 16 participating teams which will see countries placed fourth in the group stage taking home R1m each.
The teams placed third in the groups will have R1,3 million each while the losing quarter-finalists would take home about R1,9m each. Hosts, Bafana Bafana pocketed about R1,3 million in prize money for finishing third in their group.
The prize money for Chan would total about R34m the LOC said. The winner of the tournament would earn about R8,1m, the runner-up about R4,3m, and the third and fourth-placed teams about R2,7m each.
After a stuttering start to the campaign which saw them draw two blanks against Morocco and Uganda, the Warriors turned on the power in the match against Burkina Faso to win 1-0 through a Masimba Mambare header.
On Saturday, they will face Mali even more determined to further rewrite the history books by reaching the semi-finals.
