Jaraaf of Dakar eliminated from the CAF Cup, but receives a reward of 250 million CFA

While Jaraaf de Dakar concluded its adventure in the African Football Confederation Cup, the players still left the competition with substantial financial compensation. Indeed, although eliminated in the group stage, the Senegalese club pocketed a sum of 400,000 dollars, which is equivalent to more than 250 million CFA francs, for its performance and its progression to this state in the continental tournament.

For a comparison, if Jaraaf had managed to reach the quarter-finals, it would have benefited from a more generous bonus, amounting to 350 million CFA francs. Unfortunately, in their last match against USM Alger, leader of their group, Malick DAF’s men finished in third place, failing to obtain the point necessary to qualify.

Although Jaraaf showed a strong performance in the first half, the team failed to maintain the pressure, falling behind when USM Alger opened the scoring in the 81st minute before securing their victory. with a second goal. At the same time, the efforts of ASEC Mimosa bore fruit as they sealed their passage to the quarter-finals thanks to a crushing victory against Orapa United (4-0), thus joining USM Alger in the next phase of the competition.

According to our colleagues at Sud Quotidien, the elimination of Jaraaf, although disappointing, comes with the consolation of notable financial compensation, crowning their efforts during the continental campaign.
