It’s free entry for branded Sundowns fans ahead of the Wydad clash
Mamelodi Sundowns might have managed to leave Casablanca with a goalless draw against Wydad in the CAF Champions League first leg, but the electric atmosphere, as always, shook them up.
To attract a capacity crowd, Masandawana, through their social media handles, have announced free entry to all the fans who will be wearing Sundowns jerseys or any regalia for the club on Saturday.

“You don’t want to miss this one, #Sundowns; we RISE AGAIN!!”
Head coach Rhulani Mokwena already expressed his appreciation to the fans, adding that he expects nothing less than a capacity crowd with drums and cheers.
“I expect nothing less than hearing the drum, to hear Masandawana chanting, and to see a full stadium that will give us extra energy,” Mwokwena noted.
Masandawana is hoping to reach their first CAF Champions League final since 2016 when they won it; they also want revenge against Wydad, who eliminated them in the quarter-finals in 2017.
