Tickets sold out for CAF Champions League final second leg as AS FAR host Mamelodi Sundowns in Rabat
All tickets for the second leg of the CAF Champions League final between AS FAR and Mamelodi Sundowns have been officially sold out, setting the stage for a capacity crowd at the Stade Prince Moulay Abdellah in Rabat.
The announcement confirms a packed stadium for one of African football’s most highly anticipated fixtures, as two of the continent’s most successful clubs go head-to-head for the ultimate prize.
The decisive encounter will be played on Sunday, 24 May 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 20:00 local time (19:00 GMT).
With no seats left available, an intense and electric atmosphere is expected as AS FAR attempt to capitalise on home advantage against a Mamelodi Sundowns side renowned for their attacking flair and continental pedigree.
Both teams have earned their place in the final after a demanding campaign, overcoming strong opposition to reach the last hurdle of Africa’s premier club competition.
The first leg is set for Sunday, 17 May 2026, in Tshwane, South Africa, where the tie will begin to take shape before the decisive return fixture in Morocco.
Attention is now firmly on the pitch, where expectations are high for a final defined by tension, quality, and high-stakes drama.
Mamelodi Sundowns will be chasing a second CAF Champions League crown, having previously lifted the trophy in 2016, while AS FAR are aiming to end a 41-year wait for continental glory since their historic triumph in 1985.
Beyond the sporting prestige, both finalists are also competing for a significantly enhanced prize.
CAF President Dr Patrice Motsepe has confirmed that the winners will earn USD 6 million, representing a 50 percent increase in the competition’s reward structure.
