CONCACAF, everyone's favorite soccer federation, announced today that they are "increasing" the prize package for the 2016-2017 Champions League. A total of $1.2 million will be divided as such:
- $500,000 for Club America the tournament winner.
- $300,000 for the runner up.
- $200,000 a piece for the two losing semifinalists.
While those numbers may not seem like that much, it's certainly a huge improvement from last year where there was exactly $0 in prize money (I was personally amused by them using the verb "increase" in the press release).
