Mamelodi Sundowns have taken a significant step ahead of the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.
The club has reportedly extended the contract of veteran defender Mosa Lebusa.
This move ensures the experienced player will remain with the team for the 2025/26 season.
Lebusa, who joined Sundowns from Ajax Cape Town in 2018, has been a key figure in their backline.
He has made nearly 200 appearances since signing with the club.
With this extension, he is expected to surpass the 200-match milestone in Sundowns colors.
Contract Sealed Ahead of World Cup Departure
Although Mamelodi Sundowns have yet to make an official announcement, multiple reports confirm the deal is done.
According to Phakaaathi, the one-year extension has already been finalized.
This secures Lebusa’s place in the squad as they prepare to travel to the United States for the FIFA Club World Cup.
The tournament kicks off this weekend and represents a major moment in the club’s international ambitions.
Stability in Defense for a Major Campaign
Keeping a seasoned defender like Lebusa offers stability and leadership as Sundowns aim to perform on the global stage.
His experience will be vital as the team faces off against international giants.
Fans will be hopeful his presence can help the club secure positive results.
Looking Ahead to New Signings
While extending Lebusa’s contract is a strong internal move, questions remain about potential new signings.
To compete at the highest level in both the Club World Cup and the CAF Champions League, Sundowns may still need reinforcements.
Supporters are already speculating on which players could strengthen the team.
Would a new striker or another central defender make the difference?
