African champions Mamelodi Sundowns returned from Morocco to a heros welcome at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg on Monday night with the Champions League trophy that eluded them for 10 years.
The Brazilians played to a 1-1 draw with AS FAR in Rabat on Sunday night to win the 2025-2026 Champions League final 2-1 on aggregate. That earned Downs their second star on their badge for their second title in the Confederation of African Footballs premier interclub competition after their first in 2016 and the first for coach Miguel Cardoso on his third successive time of trying, having lost in the previous two finals.
