CAF has doubled its annual grants to member associations, including the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) starting this year.
The continental football body will now give $400,000 in grants, up from the $200,000 that has been granted to football association every year.
The annual grants are meant only for football and infrastructure development.
This was confirmed by CAF President Patrice Motsepe at a media conference on Friday in Ivory Coast.
He said: “CAF used to give every member Association $200,000 but that has been doubled to $400,000.
“That money should be used for development of football.”

Motsepe added: “Something that’s an unpopular fact is that some of the member associations are poor.
” I have a duty to the fifty-four nations (under CAF) but, in particular, to the ones that don’t have (adequate) financial resources.”
