CAF Champions League: AS FAR fans prepare fierce atmosphere for Mamelodi Sundowns clash in final second leg
AS FAR supporters are gearing up to create an electrifying atmosphere when the Moroccan giants host Mamelodi Sundowns in the second leg of the CAF Champions League final on Sunday at the Stade Prince Moulay Abdallah in Rabat.
With a place in African football history on the line, more than 60,000 fans are expected to pack the stadium as AS FAR look to overturn a 1-0 deficit suffered in the first leg against the South African champions last Sunday.
The build-up to the decisive encounter has already been dominated by anticipation surrounding the atmosphere expected inside the venue, with supporters reportedly planning to bring whistles and maintain constant noise throughout the contest in a bid to unsettle the visitors and inspire the home side.
The Moroccan outfit face a difficult task after falling to a narrow defeat in Pretoria, where Sundowns secured a slender advantage to take into the return fixture. However, AS FAR supporters are hoping their passionate backing can provide the extra push needed to help their team mount a comeback.
The Stade Prince Moulay Abdallah is renowned for its intense football environment, and Sunday’s showdown is expected to elevate that reputation further as thousands of supporters rally behind their team in pursuit of continental glory.
For Sundowns, the challenge extends beyond protecting their lead on the pitch. The South African side will also have to navigate what promises to be one of the most intimidating atmospheres of the campaign, with relentless noise and pressure anticipated from the opening whistle.
With the CAF Champions League title hanging in the balance, all signs point to a dramatic evening in Rabat as AS FAR seek to overturn the first-leg result and Mamelodi Sundowns aim to hold firm and secure African club football’s biggest prize.
Kick off for the much-anticipated game is scheduled at 19:00 GMT.
