The South African Football Association have announced their intentions to host the CAF Champions League and CAF Women's Champions League this year.
SAFA president Dr Danny Jordaan announced on Friday that plans are already in motion to bid for both continental finals.
That would provide some good motivation for Mamelodi Sundowns and AmaZulu, who are currently competing in the Champions League group stages, while Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies are the reigning women's African champions.
"We are following the success of both AmaZulu and Mamelodi Sundowns in the CAF Champions League and of course both of them are doing well," Jordaan told SAFA.net.
"This weekend's [CAF Champions League] group matches with Mamelodi Sundowns against Al Ahly, and with AmaZulu currently in Algeria, will determine their positions and they may also go into the final round.
"So we hope that at least one of the two, but hopefully both of them will make it to the final. It would be just wonderful to host the CAF Champions League final with a South African team or both South African teams in the final. We will be watching and submitting an application for the CAF Champions League final as well.
"That [the CAF Champions League final] will be in May, CAF Women's Champions League tournament is in November, so there is a good space between the two events."
