According to a statement by the EFA, the move aims to provide financial stimulus to Egyptian clubs across various tiers and age groups.

The prestigious Men's Egypt Cup will see its champions receive EGP 2 million, while the runner-ups will be awarded EGP 1 million.

The EFA have also allocated significant rewards for lower-tier clubs, with teams securing promotion from Second Division (A) will each receive EGP 1 million, totaling EGP 3 million, while clubs promoted from Second Division (B) will receive EGP 500,000 each.

In a boost for the women's game, the winners of the Women’s Football League will receive EGP 500,000.

The Women’s Egypt Cup champions and runner-ups will be awarded EGP 400,000 and EGP 200,000, respectively.

Additionally, clubs promoted to the Women's First Division will receive EGP 200,000 each.

Prize money for national youth tournaments have been structured across multiple age categories and competitive tiers.

Champions of the national leagues for the 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2011 age groups (First Division) will share EGP 500,000.

Further allocations reaching nearly EGP 2.2 million have been distributed across other youth categories and sector championships ranging from the 2007 to 2012 age brackets.

The Egyptian Premier League (EPL), the organizers of the domestic top flight competition, announced in 2025 that the winners of the league 2025-2026 season will win an amount of EGP 5 million.

This financial overhaul comes as part of the EFA's strategy to enhance the competitiveness of domestic tournaments and support clubs' financial stability ahead of the upcoming season.
