Mamelodi Sundowns are competing on the global stage at the FIFA Club World Cup in the USA, where they face some of the world’s football powerhouses like Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, and UEFA Champions League winners PSG.

After a strong start to their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Uldan—earning them over R35 million in prize money—Sundowns now prepare for their toughest challenge yet: a showdown with Borussia Dortmund.

Sundowns vs Dortmund: When and Where?

The clash is scheduled for Saturday, 21 June 2025, with kick-off set for 18:00 South African time.

A Massive Challenge and a Big Payoff

While Sundowns are the reigning kings of the South African Premier League with eight consecutive titles, Dortmund represents a major step up in competition. As underdogs, the Brazilians will have the opportunity to prove themselves against one of Europe’s elite clubs.

This match is more than just a test of skill—it’s a chance for Sundowns players to showcase their talent on a global platform, attracting attention from scouts worldwide.

With an additional R30 million prize money up for grabs, the stakes couldn’t be higher as Sundowns aim to make history and elevate their status internationally.
