Mamelodi Sundowns trained in Cairo, Egypt on Friday, preparing for the first leg of their CAF Champions quarter-final against Al Ahly.

Defending champions Al Ahly are looking to add to their tournament record of nine titles, while Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa claimed their sole Champions League title in 2016.

Sundowns were led to that piece of silverware by former South Africa head coach Pitso Mosimane, who took over at Al Ahly last year and masterminded a victory over the club's rivals Zamalek in the 2020 CAF Champions League final.

Saturday's match will be played at Cairo's Al Salam Stadium, with the Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium in Pretoria hosting the second leg a week later.
