It is another exciting weekend of great football action as the three Gauteng teams prepare to battle it out in different domestic and continental cup competitions.
Mamelodi Sundowns, the CAF Champions League winners, look to continue their continental success when they take on the CAF Confederations Cup champions, USM Alger of Algeria during their highly anticipated CAF Super Cup match. The all-important game will be played at the Loftus Stadium in Tshwane on Sunday, 08 November 2026.
Sundowns won the Super Cup in 2017 and seek to repeat this success. The two clubs have played each other before and Sundowns won the encounters.
Meanwhile, in the PSL, Orlando Pirates won their game against Sekhukhune United this afternoon at Orlando Amstel Arena while Kaizer Chiefs play against Siwelele FC on Sunday at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium.
Gauteng MEC for Education, Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation Lebogang Maile has once again wished the clubs well ahead of their games and congratulated Orlando Pirates for reaching the semi-finals.
“These three Gauteng teams are the pride of our football in the country and province, and we are fully behind them as they compete for glory. Sundowns has the capacity to be crowned the CAF Super Cup Champions. We have seen how they play when it comes to Continental competitions and we have no doubt that they will lift the trophy again like they did in 2017”, said MEC Maile.
“Similarly, we want to congratulate Orlando Pirates for their spectacular win against Sekhukhune United and hope Kaizer Chiefs will do well tomorrow and join both Pirates and Sundowns, who have already qualified for the Semi-finals. We want to see Gauteng teams lifting all the trophies they are competing for and we reiterate our support to all of them. Their continuous success affirms Gauteng as The Home of Champions”, he said.
MEC Maile has also called on the supporters to go out in their numbers and support their teams, exercise responsible behaviour, respect each other and ensure that safety is a priority to and from the matches. He further reiterated the province’s stance against Gender Based Violence and Femicide and called on football fans and society in general to always respect and protect women.
