Ambition or experience?
The CAF Champions League final 2025 will be contested between Mamelodi Sundowns and Pyramids FC.
The final will be played across 2 legs tomorrow 24 May 2025 & 1 June 2025.
African football fans post the question, who will win? Ambition or experience? The Egyptian team with its first African champions league final or the South African team with a title already won?
Sundowns earned their place in the Champions League final (for the third time overall, adding to their triumph in 2016 and runners-up finish in 2001) after finishing second in Group B behind ASFAR, before overcoming Esperance de Tunis (1-0 on aggregate) and Al Ahly (1-1 on aggregate, advance on away goals) in the quarterfinal and semifinal respectively.
Pyramids FC have reached the Champions League final for the first time (though they have also appeared in the final of the Confederation Cup in 2020, losing to RS Berkane) after finishing second in Group D behind Esperance de Tunis, before overcoming ASFAR (4-3 on aggregate) and Orlando Pirates (3-2 on aggregate).
First match will be played in Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria on Saturday 24 May, while the return game is set for the 30 June Stadium in Cairo on Sunday 1 June.
