SAME OPPONENTS, SAME AMBITION: MAMELODI SUNDOWNS TARGET ANOTHER CONTINENTAL CROWN AGAINST AS FAR

Mamelodi Sundowns are preparing for another potentially historic continental showdown against Moroccan giants AS FAR, with the Brazilians set to face the same opponents in two major African football competitions in 2026.

Interestingly, the encounters will involve different teams representing the same club badge, but the ambition remains unchanged: bringing continental silverware home to Chloorkop.

The first chapter of this intriguing rivalry will take place in May 2026, when the Mamelodi Sundowns men's team faces AS FAR in a battle for continental supremacy. The encounter represents another opportunity for the Tshwane giants to strengthen their reputation as one of Africa's leading football institutions.

However, the story does not end there.

In November 2026, Sundowns' women's team will also come face-to-face with AS FAR, setting up another highly anticipated continental contest between the two clubs.

The back-to-back encounters highlight the growing stature of Mamelodi Sundowns across both men's and women's football. The club has invested significantly in building competitive teams capable of challenging for honours beyond South Africa's borders.

For the men's side, continental success remains a major ambition, while the women's team continues to carry the Brazilians' colours with pride on the African stage.
