How Downs can extend Fifa Club World Cup journey
Cape Argus
|June 25, 2025
FROM the intensity of local competition to the bright lights of continental football, Mamelodi Sundowns have grown into one of South Africa’s most successful and respected clubs.
Their dominance at home has been matched by a hunger to make their mark internationally — most notably with their 2016 CAF Champions League triumph, a victory that made headlines across Africa and announced their arrival on the global stage.
Now, in just their second appearance at the Fifa Club World Cup, the Brazilians find themselves on the verge of another milestone.
With a proud record already behind them, they head into their final group stage clash against Brazilian giants Fluminense at the Hard Rock Stadium (9pm kick-off) on Wednesday, aiming not just to compete, but to add another memorable moment to their growing legacy.
This fixture offers far more than just the chance to advance — it is a real opportunity to reach the last 16 and write another chapter in a story that continues to grow in stature.
