Sundowns Ladies face AS FAR in CAF Women’s Champions League final rematch

Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies will meet AS FAR in the CAF Women’s Champions League final on Sunday, 15 November 2026, with the South African side seeking revenge for their defeat by the Moroccan club in the 2022 decider.

The final will be played at the Suez Canal Stadium in Ismailia, Egypt, with kick-off scheduled for 17:00 South African time.

The winners will also qualify for the second round of the 2027 FIFA Women’s Champions Cup, where they will face Naegohyang WFC of the DPRK next month.

Sunday’s match brings together two of the leading forces in African women’s club football. Both Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies and AS FAR are two-time CAF Women’s Champions League winners.

Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies have won the competition twice, lifting the trophy for the first time in 2021 before claiming it again in 2023. They arrive at the final unbeaten in 12 matches in the South African Women’s League this season, with 11 victories and one draw. They have scored 43 goals during that run.

AS FAR first became champions in 2022 after beating Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies in the final. The Moroccan side also won the title last year, meaning Sunday’s contest will revive a final played four years ago.
