South African clubs aim to mirror Bafana's African success
Daily News
|November 17, 2025
NOW that Bafana Bafana have reestablished themselves as one of the continent's giants through their AFCON and World Cup qualification, as well as the weekend's victory over Zambia, it is now the turn of the clubs to follow suit.
All three of Mamelodi Sundowns, Stellenbosch FC and Kaizer Chiefs will this weekend participate in CAF inter-club competitions, hoping to ride the wave of Bafana's recent success as the mini-league phase of the CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup begins.
Perennial knockout stage participants Sundowns, who were beaten finalists last season, welcome Orlando Pirates slayers Saint Elois Lupopo to Loftus Versfeld on Friday night. It is a tricky fixture for the Brazilians, who are the top seeds in a group that also includes Rulani Mokwena's MC Alger and Sudanese giants Al Hilal.
