The Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced a 40% increase in prize money on the day of the competition.
The prize money differs from the bonuses and allowances paid by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
The ultimate champion of the AFCON will get $7 million, with the defeated finalists receiving $4 million.
Quarterfinalists will get $1.3 million apiece, while Round of 16 qualifiers would receive $800,000 each club.
Nigeria will meet South Africa’s Bafana Bafana in the semi-finals on Wednesday at the Stade de la Paix, Bouake.
