Intense Rivalry and Close Encounters: Mamelodi Sundowns' History Against Moroccan Clubs Ahead of AS FAR Final

Over the past decade, Mamelodi Sundowns has been the most consistent South African club on the continental stage, regularly making deep runs in CAF competitions. During this period, Sundowns has faced some of Morocco's strongest clubs, including Raja Club Athletic, Wydad AC, and now AS FAR, whom they are set to meet in the CAF Champions League final.

Wydad AC stands out as Sundowns' most frequent opponent, with their encounters becoming one of the most prominent rivalries in recent CAF Champions League history.

In 14 matches between the two teams, Sundowns has secured 4 victories, alongside 5 draws and 5 defeats. This record highlights the intense competition and closeness between the sides, with no clear dominant force.

Against Raja Club Athletic, the number of matches is fewer but equally balanced. The two teams have met on two occasions, with Sundowns winning one and losing the other, further underscoring the competitive nature of their clashes with Moroccan clubs.

Sundowns has also faced AS FAR twice, with both encounters taking place in the group stage of the 2025 CAF Champions League. Both matches ended with the same 1-1 scoreline, demonstrating that neither side could assert dominance due to a clear tactical and physical parity.
