Hard-Fight Draw Kicks Off Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies' CAF Women's Champions League Campaign 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.

In their first Group B match, the South African champions were held to a draw as both teams failed to capitalise on a golden opportunity to make a statement in the continental competition.

Sundowns Ladies earned a crucial away point against Masar, who were playing at home, thanks to the scoreless draw. The Brazilians would have liked to start their title defence with a win, but they can still build on their opening 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.

Sundowns Ladies will focus on their next group stage assignment to try to increase their offensive production and score as many points as possible.

After solidifying their position as one of Africa's top women's football teams, the Tshwane-based side headed into the tournament hoping to challenge for the coveted continental title.

Consistency and efficiency in front of goal could decide their progress in the group stage, thus their experience and quality will be vital.
