While CAF is yet to confirm the second edition of the showpiece, Motsepe has confirmed that Africa's football body is reviewing the possibility of increasing the prize money for the tournament., Motsepe said:"Several announcements will be made soon. We are working closely with the head of the Saudi Entertainment Organization, Turki Al-Sheikh, and this partnership will benefit both CAF and Riyadh Season.
"I remain optimistic about the future of African football because our stadiums are always filled with passionate fans. However, clubs must become financially self-sustaining.
