Mamelodi Sundowns will host Egyptian giants Al Ahly in their hugely anticipated Caf Champions League group stages clash at FNB Stadium next weekend.
The Brazilians were forced to take their previous Champions League match against Al Hilal to the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg where they beat the Sudanese 1-0 last month.
“We hereby wish to confirm receipt of the operational plan and the various supporting documents for the CAF Confederation Cup match between Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly scheduled for March 11 at the FNB stadium,” said a letter signed by Vusumuzi Mkhize, director-general in the department of sport. “Please note that the Disaster Management Regulations can change at any given time that may negatively impact this approval. It will also be appreciated if you could advise the department should you decide to cancel any event where approval has been provided.”
