Mamelodi Sundowns on the cusp of reclaiming place at the summit of African football

Date: May 21, 2025

After years of building, recalibrating, and coming agonizingly close, Mamelodi Sundowns may finally be on the cusp of reclaiming their place at the summit of African football.

The Brazilians are on the verge of lifting their first TotalEnergies CAF Champions League title since 2016, and the evidence supporting their claim is more compelling than ever.

The final is a two-legged affair, with the first leg set for May 24 at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Tshwane, and the decisive return leg taking place on June 1 in Cairo against Egyptian giants Pyramids FC. Having already conquered the South African domestic scene with an unprecedented eighth consecutive league title, Sundowns have shifted all focus to bringing home the biggest prize in African club football.
