Mvala confident Sundowns Ladies will get the job done in Champions League final

Mamelodi Sundowns FC defender Mothobi Mvala believes their women’s team has enough versatility and quality to get the job done when they face Morocco’s AS FAR in the CAF Women’s Champions League final tonight.

Banyana Ba Style will be aiming to secure their third Champions League title after booking their place in the final with a convincing 4-1 victory over Uganda’s Kawempe Muslim Ladies in the semifinals.

Speaking to SABC Sport, Mvala says the team is united and believes they have what it takes to leave their mark on the competition and make the fans proud.

"I think they have a very good squad. I saw Bambanani [Mbane] on set pieces – she is very strong and can score from set pieces. In fact, anyone on that team can score. They defend well, and they're in the Champions League. Everyone knows whether it's women or men, it's always tough. It's all about pride, playing for the supporters, making yourself happy – you want to leave a mark on the field. I think the girls are doing a very good job," said Mvala.

Mvala acknowledges that the final against AS FAR will be a difficult encounter but believes Sundowns Ladies have a strong chance of bringing the trophy home if they maintain their consistency.

Mvala also praised striker Ronnel Donnelly for overcoming injury setbacks to establish herself as one of the standout forwards at the 2026 CAF Women’s Champions League. Stating that he is impressed by her work ethic and level of discipline.

"I am happy for her to see her scoring goals. I am very happy for her. She is a top striker , a good human being, and someone I have worked with for a very long time in the gym because we did rehab together with similar injuries. During our rehab, we used to speak about such moments you can't wait to get back on the field. I could see she's a hard worker. She also represented Banyana Banyana and is doing very well , so I am very happy for her."
