The Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) has highlighted the strong performance of South Africa and Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams ahead of the Club World Cup.
Sundowns is one of the four African countries expected to participate in revamped Club World Cup to be staged in the United States of America (USA).
The world football governing body (FIFA) is closely monitoring Sundowns, singling out goalkeeper, Williams for praise ahead of the competition.
“Ronwen Williams has produced a stunning record in his last 60 matches for Mamelodi Sundowns in the South African Premier League and CAF Champions League—38 clean sheets. The ‘Bafana Bafana’ captain helped Mamelodi clinch the league title last season, conceding just 10 goals across 30 matches. Williams also let in only three goals in 11 appearances in the continental championship.
This season, Mamelodi have collected 61 out of a possible 72 points in the Premier League. With six matches to go, the Brazilians are on track to break the record for most points in a 30-match season. Sundowns themselves set that benchmark in 2023/24, amassing 73 points out of a possible 90,” reads the FIFA website.
Mamelodi Sundowns are paired in Group F against Ulsan HD, Fluminense, and Borussia Dortmund.
