There are still four domestic trophies and a major FIFA prize to be won this term.

Here’s what Sundowns could add to their silverware case alongside the MTN8.

It’s been a mixed bag for Sundowns across domestic and continental competitions.

The Brazilians defeated Orlando Pirates 2-0 on 10 October in the MTN8 final.

In front of a packed crowd at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, the reigning PSL champions were silenced.

According to the PSL, Teboho Mokoena and Iqraam Rayners were on the score sheet.

Sundowns’ CAF Champions League title defence then ended before the group stage.

Masandawana drew 1-1 against Wiliete SC to drop out in the second preliminary round.

After a goalless draw in Angola, the away goals rule sank the PSL giants on 23 October in Pretoria.

Sundowns’ Super Cup loss came against USM Alger on 8 November in Pretoria.

The Confederation Cup champions were too much for the home team, running in three goals.

Rayners equalised in the first half, before the Algerian visitors put the game to bed.

While continental glory is out of reach, Sundowns can still make a clean domestic sweep.

They are leading the PSL table on 26 points, just above Pirates in second with 25 points.

Masandawana are also through to the semifinals of the Carling Knockout Cup.

According to the PSL, the last four will play on 21 November, with details to be confirmed.

The Nedbank Cup begins on 27 January next year, with the final set for 1 May, 2027.

Durban City are the reigning champions after defeating TS Galaxy, according to the PSL.

Arguably the biggest prize on the line this season is the FIFA Intercontinental Cup.

Sundowns defeated Saudi Arabia’s Al Ahli on 19 September in the African-Asian-Pacific Cup round.

This win sent them through to the Challenger Cup, as confirmed by FIFA.

Here, Sundowns will face the winner between Mexico’s Toluca FC and the 2026 Copa Libertadores champion.

Should the South African giants advance, they will contest the main Intercontinental Cup against Paris Saint-Germain.

This is a chance to make the history books alongside PSG and Real Madrid.
