USM Alger Pursues African Super Cup Title on November 8

USM Alger will contest the 2026 African Super Cup final against Mamelodi Sundowns, the CAF Champions League winner, on Sunday, November 8. The highly anticipated match is scheduled to take place at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria, South Africa. This fixture brings together two continental champions, with the Algerian club entering as the current holder of the CAF Confederation Cup.

The Algerian side approaches the final with the objective of honoring Algerian and Arab football by aiming to secure the Super Cup title. The squad, composed of experienced players who have successfully navigated continental competitions, is committed to delivering a strong performance. The winner of this prestigious match will receive a substantial financial reward and the historic trophy from the Confederation of African Football, further cementing their status as a leading club on the continent.
