Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA) has announced that there is no prize for this year’s Cosafa Cup championship, following numerous enquiries.

According to the Statement posted on official Facebook Page of COSAFA, there will be prize money of R20,000 for the individual award winners, Malawi forward Temwa Chawinga, who won both the Player of the Tournament award and the Golden Boot as top-scorer, and Golden Glove winner Cynthia Shongwe from Zimbabwe.

The statement also highlighted that the costs of hosting an event such as the COSAFA Women’s Championship, which draws teams from 11 countries in addition to the host, is extraordinary in terms of air travel, accommodation and other key logistics.

Following the Scorchers victory at this year’s COSAFA Women’s Championship there was a lot of speculation on social media about the prize money.
