If a team gets knocked out from the quarter-final, such a country will be rewarded with $800,000.

The beaten semi-finalists who contest the third-place play-off will share $4m, with each getting $2m.

The 2019 AFCON final is a $7m game and the winners will be paid $4.5m with the runners-up pocketing $2.5m.
