All set for the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League Finale as Morocco’s AS FAR and South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns prepare for showdown

The Finale of the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League 2025/26 promises to be a thrilling affair between South African giants Mamelodi Sundowns and Morocco’s AS FAR in a two-legged battle for continental supremacy.

The first leg will take place in Tshwane (Pretoria) in South Africa on Sunday, 17 May at 4pm (SAST), before the decisive return leg in Rabat on Sunday, 24 May at 9pm (SAST).

The final brings together two former champions of Africa’s premier club competition, each aiming to reclaim continental glory. Mamelodi Sundowns are chasing a second title following their triumph in 2016, while AS FAR are seeking to end a 41-year wait since their historic victory in 1985.

Beyond the prestige of lifting Africa’s most coveted club trophy, the finalists will also be competing for a record prize purse. CAF President Dr Patrice Motsepe recently confirmed that the winners of the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League will receive $6-million, a 50% increase.
