Mamelodi Sundowns

Hugo Broos' squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the USA was revealed on Wednesday, with Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Brandon Petersen missing out but Mamelodi Sundowns striker Iqraam Rayners included.

Hugo Broos is famously, or notoriously, stubborn in his team selection for Bafana Bafana, but his selection of Mamelodi Sundowns striker Iqraam Rayners showed that the Belgian mentor is capable of compromise.

Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos must cut at least six players from South Africa's preliminary FIFA World Cup squad by the time he announces his final 23-to-26-man squad on Wednesday.

A thunderous Teboho Mokoena strike in first-half stoppage time sealed Mamelodi Sundowns' second CAF Champions League title as they drew 1-1 away at AS FAR at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, clinching a 2-1 aggregate final win.

Mamelodi Sundowns will travel to Rabat to defend their 1-0 lead on Sunday in the second leg of the CAF Champions League final.

Portuguese coaches Sundowns' Miguel Cardoso and AS FAR's Alexandre Santos say their CAF achievements are not being widely celebrated in their home country, as they feel people underestimate the challenge of coaching in Africa.

Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso said that keeping calm, despite the VAR issues which delayed the second half of the CAF Champions League final first leg, was vital for Africa's footballing image.

Miguel Cardoso has insisted that Mamelodi Sundowns will stick to their usual enterprising style of football in the CAF Champions League final second leg as they look to defend a 1-0 lead against AS FAR in Rabat on Sunday (May 24).

Miguel Cardoso and Alexandre Santos say they stayed calm during the VAR confusion in the CAF Champions League final first leg between Mamelodi Sundowns and AS FAR.
