Mamelodi Sundowns have responded to the incidents that took place after their CAF Champions League draw with Al Hilal at the Loftus Versfeld on Friday, 23 January 2026.
The match ended level at 2-2, before a section of supporters chanted the name of former head coach Pitso Mosimane towards management and the players on their way into their departing bus.

“Mamelodi Sundowns condemns the behaviour and conduct of a few ill-disciplined supporters,” the club said.
“Sundowns has always encouraged active supporter participation and engagement, which must always be done with respect and courtesy.
