Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies are preparing for a massive showdown against Moroccan giants AS FAR in the CAF Women's Champions League final this Sunday, November 15, 2026.
The final brings together two of the most successful women's clubs in African football, with both teams having won the continental competition twice. Sunday's winner will make history by becoming the first club to lift the trophy three times.
Sundowns Ladies won their first title in 2021 before adding another in 2023. AS FAR, meanwhile, claimed the championship in 2022 and 2025 and will enter the final as the defending champions.
Both clubs booked their places in the final after impressive performances in the semi-finals. Sundowns Ladies defeated Uganda's Kawempe Muslim Ladies 4-1, with Ronnel Donnelly scoring a remarkable hat-trick. AS FAR secured their place with a narrow 1-0 victory over LekiƩ Football Filles, thanks to a goal from Ghizlane Chebbak.
The upcoming encounter will also bring back memories of their previous meetings in the competition. AS FAR defeated Sundowns 4-0 in the 2022 final, denying the South African side the trophy. However, Sundowns responded in the 2023 semi-final, recording a 1-0 victory before going on to win the tournament.
Sundowns will also carry an impressive unbeaten record into Sunday's encounter, having gone 21 matches without defeat in all competitions. That run will provide confidence as they prepare to face a team determined to defend its continental crown.
The final will take place at the Suez Canal Stadium in Ismailia, Egypt, with kick-off scheduled for 17:00 local time, which is 15:00 GMT.
The champions will receive $600,000 in prize money, approximately R11 million, and earn qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women's Champions Cup.
With history, continental pride and a record third title at stake, the final promises to be a major occasion for both clubs and their supporters.
