For a seventh successive season in continental football, Masandawana and the Club of the Century will meet. While last campaign they only met in the semi-finals of the African Football League, during the 2024/25 season they will be reunited in the Champions League as they face off to see who will make it to the final.
Ka Bo Yellow managed a 1-0 aggregate victory over Esperance Sportive de Tunis, while the Red Devils secured 1-0 victories both home and away against Al Hilal Omdurman to reach their sixth successive final-four appearance.
After their second-leg victory over the Sudanese giants, Ahly boss Koller was quizzed on his initial thoughts about facing Sundowns once again, and he said he is once again expecting a complicated clash.
"We faced Sundowns in many matches, and our goal was to qualify for the final. Sundowns have the motivation to win, and Al Ahly is capable of winning the title. The team's performance wasn't the best,” the Swiss tactician said, as per El Rayada.
"All possibilities are open to Sundowns. The matches will be difficult, and we want to win the third consecutive title and achieve a historic achievement."
