Local champions, Double Action will leave everything on the pitch as they face 2021 champions, Mamelodi Sundowns in the final of the CAF Women’s Champions League COSAFA qualifiers in Durban this afternoon.

Kick-off is at 3pm. The 'Star Stripes' will go up against Mares’ stars Refilwe Tholakele and Sedilame Bosija, with the Botswana team aspiring for glory and a historic spot in the annals of the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium.

Double Action are a mere 90 minutes of regulation time away from potentially becoming the first local side to advance to the CAF Women’s Champions League finals. Sundowns eliminated Double Action in the 2021 semi-finals and the last encounter between the two teams concluded with a 1-1 draw.
