The date, location, and kick-off time for this weekend’s CAF Champions League showdown between Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly have been confirmed.
Since the draw was made late last year, fans in South Africa and Egypt – and throughout the world – would have had this match marked in their diaries.
The match will take place at the FNB Stadium on Saturday, 12 March at 15:00.
At the halfway mark of the group stages to determine the quarter-finalists, Masandawana lead Group A with seven points.
Al Ahly are in second spot with four points, ahead of Sudan side Al-Merrikh by virtue of having won their head-to-head clash.
The second Sudanese side in the group, Al-Hilal, are currently fourth and last with a single point, but could well have a say in which two teams progress from the group to the last 8.
A win for Mamelodi Sundowns would secure their place in the quarter-finals, depending on the result of the Al-Hilal v Al-Merrikh clash 24 hours earlier on Friday, 11 March at 15:00 SA time.
Al Ahly could be in trouble depending on the result
A defeat for Al Ahly (possible) and a win for Al-Merrikh (probable) would once again put the defending champions in danger of not progressing from the group stage.
All shall be revealed this weekend!
