Rulani Mokwena is facing an important challenge as he looks to translate Pyramids FC's impressive domestic form into success in the CAF Champions League, with the South African coach targeting another continental triumph for the Egyptian club.

The former Mamelodi Sundowns coach has enjoyed an encouraging run with Pyramids, who have reportedly gone 15 consecutive matches without defeat. His side's consistency has raised expectations among supporters, who are hoping the team can maintain its momentum when competing against Africa's leading clubs.

The 15-match winning streak has also strengthened belief that the former Mamelodi Sundowns mentor could guide Pyramids towards another successful CAF Champions League campaign. His team have already secured qualification for the group stages after defeating South Sudan's El Merriekh 5-0 on aggregate.

Pyramids are not unfamiliar with continental success. The Egyptian outfit made history in June 2025 when they defeated Mamelodi Sundowns 3-2 on aggregate to claim their first CAF Champions League trophy.

Interestingly, that victory came against Sundowns, the club where Mokwena previously established himself as one of South Africa's prominent coaches.

The 39-year-old now has an opportunity to pursue the same continental honour with Pyramids, although maintaining their impressive domestic form will not automatically guarantee success in Africa.

The Champions League presents a different level of competition, with established African giants expected to provide serious challenges during the group stages and knockout rounds.

For Mokwena, winning the trophy would represent another significant achievement in his coaching career and further strengthen his reputation in African football.

Pyramids supporters will be hoping that their coach can build on the club's previous continental success and guide them towards another historic triumph.
