15 November 2026 – Reigning Hollywoodbets Super League champions Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies will be displaying South Africa’s talent on the continental stage when they contest the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League on Sunday (15 November 2026).
Banyana Ba Style will face AS FAR of Morocco at the Suez Canal Stadium in Ismailia, Egypt at 17h00 SA Time. This is the biggest final in women’s club football in Africa, with the winners not only guaranteed just over R10 million rands but also a place in the second round of the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup 2027, where they are set to face DPR Korea’s Naegohyang WFC next month.
On display at the final in Egypt will be two giants of African women’s football – both have won the CAF Women’s League twice. Unbeaten this season in the 12 outings in the Hollywoodbets Super League, Sundowns Ladies have won 11 games and drew one, scoring 43 goals in the process. They were the inaugural winners in 2021 and also lifted the trophy two years later (2023).
AS FAR were crowned champions in 2022, after beating the South African outfit in the final. They also claimed gold last year and Sunday’s final is a repeat of the battle of four years.
The Brazilians got their 2026 campaign in North Africa off to a good start, finishing top of the group with two wins and a draw, before brushing aside Uganda’s Kawempe Muslin Ladies 4-0 in the semi-finals.
“South Africa is proud to see Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies not only representing the country well but also the COSAFA region. SAFA wishes them everything of the best in the final of premier women’s club football on the continent and we are confident they will bring it back home,” said SAFA CEO Lydia Monyepao.
“We have confidence that they will make up proud. We would also like to thank Hollywoodbets for the partnership we have, which has helped us elevate women’s football in our country, leading to competing on the continent. I strongly believe the Hollywoodbets Super League will be much richer with Sundowns Ladies’ success because a win for the team is a win for women’s football in South Africa.”
