Dreams FC made history on Sunday night when they became the first Ghanaian club to make the semi finals of the CAF Confederation Cup in its current format.
Dreams drew 1-1 with Stade Malien of Mali in Kumasi to complete a 3-2 aggregate win, thanks to a 2-1 first leg victory.
The last time a Ghanaian club went this far in CAF's second tier competition was back in 2004, when Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko made the final of the inaugural competition.
Along with the history, Dreams FC have also secured a hefty pay out of US$750,000 for reaching the last four.
The Dawn-based club will earn an extra US$250,000 if they can reach the final, which would bring their total earnings to US$1,000,000 even if they lose the final.
Winning the competition will double that figure to a whopping US$2,000,000.
These figures are based on CAF's new prize money for the competition, which was announced in 2023.
Karim Zito's men take on Egyptian giants Zamalek in the last four, with the first leg in Cairo on April 21, and the return leg in Kumasi 7 days later.
