Prior to their match against USM Alger in the final of the CAF Super Cup, which is scheduled to take place on November 8 in South Africa, Mamelodi Sundowns will be responsible for a number of hosting responsibilities. The arrangements for the competition will cover everything from the maintenance of security and training facilities to the distribution of tickets and broadcasting. Each of the two clubs was obligated to provide the Confederation of African Football (CAF) with their preliminary player lists on October 16th. This submission was due on October 16th, which was the deadline. The requirements provide specific information regarding the preparations that are expected to be made by Sundowns, the club that will be hosting the competition, as well as by the South African football authorities. The final is drawing near, and the requirements detail the information.

Three days before the match, Sundowns is required to hand over the stadium as well as the training facilities to the CAF. This is a requirement that must be met. Moreover, there ought to be two training pitches that are accessible, and each of them ought to have the same playing surface as the venue where the match will take place. The Algerian team ought to have access to one of these pitches that has been reserved specifically for them. The purpose of these provisions is to ensure that both teams are adequately prepared for the final of the continental competition by providing them with conditions that are suitable for their performance.

Along with the accommodations and transportation, the arrangements also include the transportation. It is anticipated that Sundowns will be in charge of making accommodations for approximately eighteen of the CAF officials, members of which will include referees and personnel from the VAR. Alternatively, the CAF will be in charge of making accommodations for its official delegations in either Johannesburg or Pretoria. This responsibility will depend on which city is chosen. Additionally, it is necessary for the South African club to provide transportation for a minimum of fifty members of the United States Military Alger delegation, in addition to providing a vehicle for the individual who is in charge of the delegation. Both Sundowns and the South African Football Association (SAFA) will be involved in the process of planning the security measures that will be implemented. Additionally, in order to receive approval from the CAF, both organizations will be required to present their proposed plans as well as the number of personnel involved. Supporters of USM Alger are scheduled to receive an allocation that is equivalent to five percent of the stadium's capacity, which is located on the eastern side of the stadium. Match tickets are required to be available five days prior to the start of the game, and their allocation is scheduled to be distributed. The provision that stipulates that Sundowns will receive all of the revenue that is generated from the match is one of the noteworthy financial provisions that are included in the agreement. For the purposes of advertising, each club is required to provide five jerseys that have been signed, and the Association of Football Clubs (AFC) will be responsible for supplying the official match balls. Only advertising that has been approved by the CAF will be allowed to be displayed with a maximum of three days before the final.

A total of 28 cameras are scheduled to be installed inside the stadium throughout the duration of the event, which is another reason why it is anticipated that the event will receive extensive production coverage. Not only will the commercial department of the CAF be responsible for presenting a Man of the Match award, but they will also be in charge of coordinating promotional activities. Although the CAF has not yet disclosed who will hold the official television rights, it is anticipated that the final will be broadcast all over the world. This is despite the fact that the CAF has not yet communicated this information.

The preparations that are currently being made are illustrative of the magnitude of the logistical and commercial requirements that are associated with hosting a continental final. From this moment forward, Sundowns and USM Alger will be concentrating their efforts on the competition that will take place on November 8; additional broadcast information is expected to be provided by CAF.
