Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies play the CAF Women’s Champions League final against AS FAR on Sunday. At stake: a title, a little more than 10 million rand and a place in the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup, according to SAFA.
Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies face AS FAR of Morocco on Sunday 15 November 2026 at 17:00 (South African time) at the Suez Canal Stadium in Ismailia, Egypt. The South African side play the CAF Women’s Champions League final there, according to the South African Football Association (SAFA).
At stake is a little more than 10 million rand for the winner, but also qualification for the second round of the 2027 FIFA Women’s Champions Cup. The crowned club will face Naegohyang WFC of North Korea there in December, SAFA specifies.
Two clubs level on titles
The two opponents have so far shared the recent honours. Sundowns lifted the trophy in 2021 and 2023; AS FAR responded in 2022, then last year. Sunday’s final is also a rematch of 2022, the year the Moroccans beat the South Africans.
The Egyptian meeting pits two clubs who have already won the competition twice. A victory would give the South Africans a third crown, and a one-title lead over AS FAR.
An unbeaten run
The Sundowns side arrive in form. In the Hollywoodbets Super League, they have not lost a single match this season: 11 wins and 1 draw in 12 outings, for 43 goals scored, according to SAFA.
In the Champions League, the South Africans finished top of their group thanks to two wins and a draw. The detailed record shows a 0-0 against FC Masar, a 2-1 win over Lekié FF and a 3-0 victory against FUS Rabat.
In the semi-final, they saw off Kawempe Muslim 4-0 to book their ticket.
Federal support
The South African federation has shown its support before kick-off. “South Africa is proud to see Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies not only representing the country well but also the COSAFA region. SAFA wishes them everything of the best in the final of premier women’s club football on the continent and we are confident they will bring it back home,” said Lydia Monyepao, SAFA chief executive officer.
