Sundowns a shining light for African football at Club World Cup
The Star
|June 27, 2025
MAMELODI Sundowns emerged as the stand-out African club at the Fifa Club World Cup, which saw all four African representatives failing to advance to the knockout stage.
On Wednesday night in Miami, despite a gripping 0-0 draw against the Brazilian football powerhouse Fluminense, Sundowns fell just one point shy of reaching the last-16 round.
At the start of the tournament, Masandawana were overshadowed by the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Fluminense.
However, they quickly transformed into a team that captured the imagination of the fans while demonstrating their mettle on the world stage.
Their presence in Group F became a narrative of inspiration and unexpected brilliance since very little was known about the South Africans before the tournament.
