‘Les Corbeaux’ whose other triumphs were in 1967, 1968, 2009 and 2010 pocketed a 1.5 million US Dollars for the feat in addition to the ticket to represent the continent at the FIFA Club World Cup from 10-20 December 2015 in Japan.

The Algerians, USM Alger, were 1 million US Dollars richer for their efforts, despite failing to replicate the feat of their rivals, ES Setif, who beat AS Vita of DR Congo last year to win the biggest prize in continental club football.
