She stated that the elevation of the total prize money to N30 million has made the tournament a FIFA standard event.

Obaseki said the winner would take home N10 million, second place at N7 million, third place at N5 million, and fourth place at N3million, with the remaining 10 teams smiling home with N750,000 each.
