Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies Begin CAF Women’s Champions League Campaign With Hard-Fought Draw Against Masar

On Sunday afternoon, Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies got off to a solid start in the 2026 CAF Women's Champions League with a scoreless draw at the Suez Canal Authority Stadium in Ismailia against Masar, an Egyptian team.

Despite having a chance to make an early statement in the continental tournament, the South African champions were unable to capitalise in their initial Group B meeting, and they were forced to settle for a draw.

With a scoreless draw, Sundowns Ladies gained a crucial away point against Masar, who were playing at home. The Brazilians would have liked to start their championship defence with a win, but they can still build on their first match victory by drawing even.

The match also demonstrated how fiercely contested the CAF Women's Champions League is, with each point potentially deciding a team's fate in the tournament's knockout round.

As Sundowns Ladies want to increase their offensive production and accumulate maximum points, their focus will now shift to their next group-stage assignment.

The Tshwane-based club, already well-established as one of the best women's football teams in Africa, went into the tournament hoping to challenge for the coveted continental title.

As they face the difficulties of the group stage, their quality and experience will be crucial, as their success may depend on how consistently and efficiently they perform in front of goal.
