Sundowns prepared with 9 World Cup vets
South African team Mamelodi Sundowns is preparing to face Al-Ahli in the Club World Cup, leveraging the experience of nine players who were part of their national team at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The squad has been reduced from ten to nine players following the passing of player Jaden Adams. Among the World Cup players, three have been starters in all of South Africa's matches, while others have missed out on participation. On the other hand, Al-Ahli fields six players with World Cup experience, despite some stars being absent due to their departure. Sundowns are leading the tournament as the reigning CAF Champions League champions, while Al-Ahli is participating after winning the AFC Champions League title. The South African team hopes to benefit from their players' World Cup experience to strengthen their chances in the competition.
