Sundowns Granted Special Transfer Window Ahead of FIFA Club World Cup Campaign
Mamelodi Sundowns have received a major boost in their preparations for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, with a special transfer window set to open in just over a week. The Premier Soccer League champions are expected to use the opportunity to reinforce their squad ahead of the global tournament, which kicks off in June in the United States.
The special dispensation, granted in alignment with FIFA regulations, allows the African champions to register new players outside of the traditional transfer period. This strategic advantage comes as Sundowns prepare to represent the continent on one of football’s grandest stages, where they will compete against elite clubs from around the world.
While no official announcements have been made regarding potential signings, insiders suggest that the Brazilians are targeting key additions to bolster depth in critical areas, especially given the intensity and calibre of opposition expected at the Club World Cup.
Club officials have expressed confidence that the early window will help fine-tune the team’s readiness for international competition. Head coach Miguel Cardoso is believed to be working closely with the club’s technical team to finalise a shortlist of targets.
Sundowns’ participation follows a stellar campaign in the CAF Champions League and domestic dominance, making them the first South African club to feature in the expanded Club World Cup format. The tournament will not only test their tactical mettle but also serve as a shop window for South African football talent on a global scale.
More details regarding player movements and squad preparations are expected in the coming days as the special window opens
