Mamelodi Sundowns and Ulsan Hyundai have announced their respective starting lineups for Group F’s FIFA Club World Cup encounter at the Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando.
The countdown is over as Sundowns’ long-awaited day of participating in their second CWC has arrived as they return to the global competition for the first time since being crowned CAF Champions League winners in 2016.
The South African champions will look to become the first African side to score a goal and win in this tournament this year after Al Ahly SC played to a goalless draw against Inter Miami, while Tunisian giants ES Tunis suffered a 2-0 defeat against Flamengo of Brazil.
In 2016, Masandawana finished the tournament in sixth place after losing both matches against Japanese side Kashima Antlers and South Korean giants Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, scoring one goal.
UPDATE: The kick-off has been delayed due to adverse weather in Florida.
Here’s how they line up:
Sundowns Starting XI: Williams, Mudau, Kekana, Cupido, Lunga, Mokoena, Allende, Zwane, Sales, Rayners, Ribeiro
Subs: Onyango, Pieterse, Lebusa, Mdunyelwa, Mvala, Khoza, Aubaas, Mkhulise, Modiba, Adams, Matthews, Mothiba, Shalulile, Lethlaku
Ulsan Hyundai Starting XI: Jo, Trojak, Seo, Kim, Ludwigson, Lee, Jung, Bojanic, Ko, Um, Farias
