The City of Tshwane extends a hearty congratulations to Mamelodi Sundowns FC following their historic triumph in the 2025/26 TotalEnergies CAF Champions League, securing their second continental title after overcoming AS FAR with a 2-1 aggregate victory last night in Morocco.
This remarkable achievement is not only a victory for the club, but a proud moment for Tshwane, South Africa and the African continent at large. Mamelodi Sundowns FC have once again demonstrated excellence, resilience, discipline and consistency at the highest level of African football.
To remain at the summit of African football for over a decade requires more than talent alone. It demands visionary leadership, a winning culture, mental strength and players who understand the responsibility of carrying the hopes of millions. The Sundowns have built a legacy that continues to inspire generations and raise the standard of local football.
As the home of champions, the City of Tshwane takes immense pride in its association with Mamelodi Sundowns FC, a club that continues to place our city firmly on the continental and global sporting map. This second star is a testament to hard work, unity and the unwavering pursuit of greatness.
We congratulate the players, technical team, management, supporters and the entire Yellow Nation for this monumental accomplishment. Your success belongs to all of Tshwane and all South Africans.
The City eagerly looks forward to officially welcoming the club back home tonight between 20:00 - 22:00 and joining thousands of supporters in celebrating this historic achievement as the champions return home with the coveted CAF Champions League trophy.
A full programme outlining the trophy unveiling celebrations and engagements with the residents of Tshwane will be communicated in due course. Indeed, Tshwane remains the city of champions.
