Denis Onyango believes Mamelodi Sundowns have built the perfect platform to remain a dominant force in African football for years to come following their CAF Champions League triumph.
The veteran goalkeeper spoke during Sundowns’ celebratory bus parade through Mamelodi on Tuesday, after the Brazilians secured their second continental crown with victory over AS FAR Rabat in Morocco. For Onyango, the achievement carried emotional significance beyond simply adding another trophy to the club’s cabinet.
The Ugandan international was also part of the Sundowns side that conquered Africa for the first time back in 2016 and admitted this latest success felt symbolic for the club’s growth over the last decade.
“This is very special, we’re changing the day the badge looks like,” Onyango said, while standing alongside club captain Themba Zwane. “This feels like an anniversary for us because we last won it ten years ago as well.”
