The Brazilians three home venues have been flagged for not meeting Caf standards.
Rulani Mokwena, co. coach of Mamelodi Sundowns has explained why Caf had to move their Champions League games to the Royal Bafokeng Stadium
All three of these capital city venues have been flagged for not meeting Caf standards and Sundowns have since moved to make renovations – at least at the Loftus Versfeld – a venue they share with rugby franchise partner, the Bulls. “Caf were not entirely happy with the stadiums for various reasons, from lacking adequate generators to not being satis- fied with medical facilities, the dugouts and safety of the chairs at the different facilities,” explained Mokwena.
“Then Caf recommended that we can use Royal Bafokeng, which suits us. The quality of the facilities and the pitch suit our requirements because we want to use a field that allows us to be dominant and play the way that we want to,” he added.
