Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso stated during a press conference on Friday in Pretoria that his team is focused on the upcoming CAF Champions League final against AS FAR. He emphasized that the decisive match will be the second leg in Morocco on May 24, 2026, not the first leg at home.
Cardoso noted, 'The real final will be played in Morocco on the 24th of the month, not here on Sunday.' He added that this understanding drives his team to approach the first leg with caution and strategy.
The Portuguese coach acknowledged the strength of AS FAR, describing the final as 'difficult.' Sundowns are aiming for their second CAF Champions League title, having won it in 2016.
