Who are Mamelodi Sundowns?

The club was in the top flight last season as well, finishing second on 68 points. Therefore the current campaign is a chance to build on that record rather than start from scratch.

API-Football lists Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria as the club’s home ground, with a capacity of about 51,762.
