\"Ghanablackstars\"Black Stars<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Black Stars of Ghana will pocket $4.5 million in prize money if they are able to win the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.<\/p>\n

The four time winners have been pooled in Group F alongside defending champions Cameroon, Benin and Guinea Bissau.<\/p>\n

Kwesi Appiah\u2019s men will be looking to end Ghana\u2019s 37-year wait for an AFCON title after three missed chances in 1992, 2010 and 2015.<\/p>\n

Ghana will open their campaign against Benin on June 25, four days before facing Cameroon, whom they lost to in the semi-final of the last championship.<\/p>\n

The Black Stars\u2019 last game will be against Guinea-Bissau on July 2.<\/p>\n

All the countries competing at this summer\u2019s Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt will receive at least $600,000 each, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced following the draw that took place in Cairo on Friday, April 12.<\/p>\n

For the first time in the history of the competition, 24 teams are participating and this will bring additional revenue to CAF.<\/p>\n

And according to CAF President, Ahmad Ahmad, the winner will pocket $4.5m in addition to the trophy they will raise on July 19.<\/p>\n

\u201dObviously, we increased the prize money for the competition,\u201d Ahmad Ahmad said to Radio France International.<\/p>\n

Defending champions Cameroon pocketed $4 million for winning the 2017 AFCON, runners-up Egypt received $2 million while Burkina Faso and Ghana, the two semifinalists, took home $1.5 million each.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
