STARS ABROAD Ugandan Players Abroad: Jamal shines as Lwanga and Aucho target CAF CL Spots
With the international break now behind us, Ugandan players plying their trade abroad have resumed their club duties. Let's take a closer look at who will be in action.
Sundowns' recent 1-0 victory against rivals Orlando Pirates equalled a league record previously held by traditional giants Kaizer Chiefs, which stood at 31 games without defeat.
Rulani Mokwena's squad, who last tasted defeat in a league match in September 2022 against SuperSport United, have now accumulated 25 wins and six draws, matching Chiefs' remarkable run from 2005.
During that period, Chiefs remained unbeaten from January 15, 2005, to November 16, 2005, securing 15 wins and 16 draws.
The Brazilians, eyeing an unprecedented seventh consecutive league title, are also preparing to participate in the newly established CAF African Football League, scheduled to kick off in October.
