Doha, Qatar - The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) have never awarded cash prizes to any of the winners until now in the 15 Asian Cups, including the present 2011 edition.
But now Mohamed Bin Hammam, AFC president, has assured that prize money will be a new feature of the Asian Cup starting from the 2015 edition of the tournament.
In his statement Mohamed Bin Hammam said, “There will be prize money for which we are planning and I presume that in 2015, we can allocate US$10m (£6.3m) for the prize winners – first, second and third."
