Sundowns’ Dominance
The Sundowns have been the powerhouse of South African football, winning the PSL title in eight of the last ten campaigns.
Bidvest Wits in 2017 and Kaizer Chiefs in 2015 were the only teams to interrupt their near-total domination over the past decade.
Guard of Honour
As a testament to their exceptional performance this season, the Sundowns will receive a guard of honour from up to seven teams.
This unique recognition comes as a result of the Sundowns wrapping up the PSL title early in the season.
Starting with Cape Town City, as many as seven PSL sides could pay tribute to the Sundowns by giving them a guard of honour during the remaining matches of the 2022-23 campaign.
Celebrating Excellence
The Sundowns’ success story is a testament to the importance of perseverance, hard work, and dedication in sports.
Their continued dominance in South African football serves as an inspiration for other teams and players, motivating them to strive for excellence.
The guard of honour they will receive from their rivals is not only a mark of respect but also a celebration of their exceptional achievements in the sport.
