After returning for preseason training Mamelodi Sundowns captain Denis Onyango has spoken about their ambition to fight for the CAF Champions League title in this campaign.
Sundowns lost out in the quarter-finals of the CAFCL this past season, and were bitterly disappointed, as it was the only competition they entered in 2021/2022 they did not win, after a clean sweep of domestic trophies at home.
The Ugandan goalkeeper has thanked the fans for their support in the last campaign, and asked them to keep pushing the team as they look to win even more trophies in the new season.
“First of all I would like to thank the fans for being behind us this past season because we really missed them in the stadiums,” Onyango told the club’s website.

“When the stadiums finally opened they came in numbers, especially in the MTN8 they were with us and pushed us until the last whistle and that’s how we managed to win the MTN8. And of course in the league as well, the Nedbank Cup and the CAF Champions League they’ve been fantastic.
“All we need to do is to keep encouraging them to come to the stadium and to push the boys because their support is really, really important to the team and we believe that we can go and win more trophies in the coming season.
“We are looking forward to the next season, it’s going to be interesting because teams have also beefed up their squads and we all need to give our best and try to win the Champions League because it’s overdue now.
“We believe that we have the ability and the quality to do that.”
