Sundowns announces match date with Al-Ahli
South African club Mamelodi Sundowns will face Al Ahly in the Africa-Asia-Pacific Cup match, scheduled for Saturday, September 19, 2026, at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in South Africa. The kickoff is set for 3:00 PM South African time, a timing preferred by the club to give itself an advantage in weather conditions and crowd pressure. Al Ahly qualified for this stage after winning against Oakland Sc in the 2026 Intercontinental Cup, having claimed the AFC Champions League title by defeating Japanese club Shimizu S-Pulse 1-0. The tournament then proceeds to a match between the winner of this competition and the victors of the Americas derby, which pits the champions of the CONCACAF Champions Cup and the Copa Libertadores, to determine the champion of the Africa-Asia-Pacific Cup. The winner of the tournament will go on to face the reigning UEFA Champions League champions, Paris Saint-Germain, in the final.
