Why PSL clubs will find it difficult to compete with Sundowns
Sports Analyst Uche Anuma in an exclusively chat with Briefly News shared his thought on Mamelodi Sundowns financial gain from FIFA as a participants in the Club World Cup.
In a chat with Briefly News, Uche Anuma shared his thoughts on the participation fees Mamelodi Sundowns received for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup after their win over Sekhukhune United in the Nedbank Cup.
“Mamelodi Sundowns receiving that huge amount of participating fees from FIFA will further set them apart from other Premier Soccer League sides in terms of financial power,” he said.
“This thing is not far-fetched that massive payout will further enhance their spending power in the transfer market this summer and also get better quality players compared to others.
“They’re not in this wonderful situation by luck, they worked hard to get here, and other PSL side should emulate them.”
Anuma also advised the Pretoria giants on the position they need to add new players in the summer.

“Mamelodi Sundowns have a very large squad, and it would be difficult to pinpoint a certain position for them to add more quality,” he added.
“That aside, I think they need to work on bringing in a new goalkeeper who can understudy Ronwen Williams and let go of either Jody February or Denis Onyango.
“Williams is an undisputed starter, but his recent injury problems could prove costly for them next season if they don’t work on adding a proper replacement.
“A new left-back can also be added to the team, for example, Fawaaz Basadien, so he can shuffle with Aubrey Modiba.
"They've already made a wise decision to sign Jayden Adams from Stellenbosch FC in the January transfer and that's a good option in the absence of Themba Zwane."
