It has been eight years since their last appearance in this international competition. This time, however, they aim to make a lasting impression against some of the world's leading football clubs.

The South African giants have secured their spot in the expanded 32-team tournament, which features a quartet of African representatives. Their participation creates a platform for the club to showcase its talent against elite sides from Europe, South America, and Asia. The team is set to face formidable group opponents, including Borussia Dortmund—2024 Uefa Champions League runners-up, Brazil's Fluminense, and South Korea's Ulsan.
