๐ŸŸก TRANSFER UPDATE: DEAL PENDING โณ๐ŸŸก

Sundowns have made a major breakthrough in talks to bring the exciting winger to Chloorkop. Pace, direct play, 1v1 specialist - he ticks all the Cardoso boxes ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น

What this means:
More firepower on the wings + serious competition for places. Mathews/Others better be ready because the competition just leveled up ๐Ÿค

Nothing signed yet, but the deal is in advanced stages. Watch this space ๐Ÿ’›

๐๐ข๐  ๐ง๐ž๐ฐ๐ฌ for Masandawana! ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’ฃ

Miguel Cardoso stays put ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น
Contract extension confirmed! The coach who took Sundowns to the CAF Champions League final + Club World Cup 2025 isnโ€™t going anywhere.

Smart move by the Motsepe family. Under Cardoso, Sundownsโ€™ football got more structured + tactical. The players bought into his system and it showed in Africa.

Fan reaction: This is what stability looks like ๐Ÿ‘
No more coaching merry-go-round. Now we build on it.

Here is the ownership timeline for Mamelodi Sundowns and logos from 1985 ---> 2026

Zola Mahobe (1985โ€“1988): A flamboyant businessman affectionately known as "Mr Cool," Mahobe bought the club in 1985. He famously introduced professional contracts, high player salaries, and the "Brazilians" nickname. His tenure ended when Standard Bank repossessed the club following fraudulent financial activities

The Krok Brothers & Standard Bank (1988โ€“Early 1990s): Following the club's liquidation, Standard Bank took control and sold the team to prominent businessmen Abe and Solly Krok

The Tsichlas Family (Early 1990sโ€“2003): Football stalwarts Angelo and Natasha Tsichlas (along with their partners) took over the club. Under their leadership, Sundowns became a dominant force in South African football, winning multiple league titles and reaching the 2001 CAF Champions League final.

Patrice Motsepe (2003โ€“Present): Mining magnate and current CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe bought a 51% stake in 2003. By 2004, he took over 100% ownership and renamed the club "Mamelodi Sundowns". He has since transformed the team into a continental powerhouse. Today, his son Tlhopie Motsepe actively leads the club as Chairman.

Mamelodi Sundowns sponsors & their roles Sponsor Role/Contribution

Ubuntu-Botho Primary shirt sponsor + major commercial partner Shirt sponsor = biggest cash deal. Exact figure not disclosed, but Sundowns sponsorships overall range $100,000 - $500,000 per annum for partner deals. Shirt sponsor would be at the top end of that.

Puma Official kit + apparel sponsor since 2016 Called โ€œthe biggest football kit deal in PUMA South Africa and Mamelodi Sundowns football historyโ€. Deal includes playing/training kit for all teams + licensing rights for replica merch. Exact value not public.

Huawei Official mobile + technology sponsor Technology collaborator for digital innovation. Cash + product value. No public figure.

Chery Official vehicle sponsor Supplies fleet of premium SUVs for players/staff travel. Took over from Hyundai. Deal value undisclosed - likely vehicle + cash package.

Red Bull Official energy drink/beverage partner First football partnership in SA for Red Bull. Focus on player wellness + fan activations. No cash amount public.

Biogen Official supplements/wellness sponsor Provides nutritional support + recovery products for players. Partnership announced 2025. Value undisclosed.

Black Label Official beer sponsor - esp for Club World Cup 2025 Backing Sundowns on global stage + fan rewards >R1 million in prizes. Activations > cash sponsorship.

Southern Sun Hospitality sponsor Provides accommodation/hospitality for team. In-kind + cash value not public.

3 key points:

1. Ubuntu-Botho + Puma are the 2 biggest money deals. Ubuntu-Botho on the chest, Puma is the โ€œbiggest kit deal in SAโ€.

2. Roc Nation Sports brokers most of these global deals, which helped pull in brands like Red Bull.

3. Total sponsor value: Sundowns sponsorships are estimated at $100k-$500k per year per sponsor. With 8 partners, total commercial income from sponsors is likely several million USD annually. But thatโ€™s an estimate - the club doesnโ€™t break it down per brand.

For comparison: Sundowns sponsorship cost to a brand is listed at R100 million per year vs Kaizer Chiefs R120m, Orlando Pirates R90m. Thatโ€™s probably for a main/umbrella partnership.

CHAIRMAN TLHOPIE MOTSEPE ON MSHISHI โœ๏ธ๐Ÿ’›

"You know, fifteen years later, we can say that he's become a player that epitomises Mamelodi Sundowns football. When you think of 'Shika and piano', when you think of Sundowns football, you think of Themba Zwane. Yeah. And that in itself is very special. So for us it was our way of saying thank you so much for everything that you've done so far in this club. We knew that Shika wanted to stay. We knew that he wanted to make sure that he had another year to do his best for the team, and so we wanted to just reward the loyalty he'd given us in the past by showing loyalty through our contract."

CHAIRMAN ON MSHISHI ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’›

"None more than Shika. Yeah. You know we are about as a football club humility. Yeah. And you know what it's like when the supporters and everybody wants to sing Themba's song. Yeah. You know Themba gets shy because he's a humble guy. Yeah. But it's something that the players also look and love so much about Mshishi. You know as he's a leader who leads through his aura. He leads through his example. Yeah. That kind of leadership is louder than any speech that a great leader can give. Because his actions reflect what he who he is and what he's about. So yeah we'll continue to always try when the opportunity give it given to us to reward and celebrate these iconic players and we hope that you know next season the next chapter that we write with Mshishi is one of even more accomplishments and you know the fairy tale continues. Yeah."

MSHISHI ON HIS LEGACY ๐Ÿ“ผ๐Ÿ‘‘

"Now the a lot uh means uh history. Yeah. Yeah you know when uh after retiring I'll be able to sit at home. Uh show my kids. Yeah. What I have done and uh bring back all those memories. Yeah and obviously I will feel good. Do you still get excited"

Leadership on and off the pitch ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’ช

"Yeah, but now um one thing that drives me is to wake up. Ja. Go to the gym and uh help the those young ones to always be there in the gym. Ja. Train with them. That that that's drive me you know."

Mamelodi Sundowns on the world stage ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’™

FIFA Intercontinental Cup 2026.

Sundowns = Africaโ€™s flag bearers ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
Weโ€™re straight into the African-Asian-Pacific Cup. Win that, and itโ€™s the Challenger Cup next. Then the FINAL for the FIFA Intercontinental Cup vs UEFA Champions League winners PSG.

From Loftus to the world. This is what 2 stars is about.

No easy path. Auckland City or Al Hilal first. Then Concacaf or Libertadores champs. Then PSG waiting in the final.

Masandawana donโ€™t just participate. We go to win ๐Ÿ‘†

You ready for this run, Yellow Nation?
