Cash-strapped Egyptians Zamalek eye record CAF Cup prize money

Zamalek, a financially embattled Egyptian club, will receive a record $4m CAF Confederation Cup prize if they beat USM Alger in the two-leg final. The Confederation of African Football recently announced 100 percent increases in the prizes for the winners and runners-up. Zamalek, the second most successful club in CAF competitions, is battling debts of $6.5m and owes money to clubs in Africa and Europe for players they brought to Cairo.
