Overview
- The CAF Super Cup is set for Sunday, 8 November at Loftus Versfeld with a 15:00 kick-off confirmed by Mamelodi Sundowns.
- Reports say the winner will receive $500,000 and the runner-up $250,000, figures cited by local outlets as the financial stakes for both clubs.
- USM Alger have arrived in Tshwane and arrive unbeaten in their last three matches as they prepare for the one-off contest.
- Sundowns enter with injury concerns after coach Miguel Cardoso confirmed Teboho Mokoena and captain Ronwen Williams are nursing problems following the club’s surprise Champions League exit to Wiliete SC.
- The Super Cup pairs last season’s CAF Champions League winners (Sundowns) with the Confederation Cup winners (USM Alger) and offers both a trophy and a sizable cash boost that could affect club finances and player availability going forward.
