Mamelodi Sundowns vs Fluminense

Match Worn Shirt

Did you Know?

This shirt was worn by Malibongwe Prince Khoza during the Fifa Club World Cup 2025 game between Mamelodi Sundowns and Fluminense which took place in Miami, “Hard Rock Stadium”, on June 29th 2025. Mamelodi draw 0-0 and at the end of the game Khoza swapped his shirt with an opponent team whom we got it from. The team has been eliminated from the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ after a goalless draw with Fluminense FC at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, having needed a win to reach the Round of 16. Despite the early exit, the Sundowns have taken huge pride in their performances on the global stage, which included a 1-0 victory over Ulsan HD followed by a thrilling 4-3 defeat to the mighty Borussia Dortmund. Khoza was a substitute player and he didn’t get in to the pitch. This is a very special shirt used by the team in this tournament only and it was released in partnership between Puma and KidSuper. The shirt is inspired to the city of Tshwane in South Africa.  Tshwane’s evening sky hits different. In the PUMA x KIDSUPER collaboration, the Mamelodi Sundown’s Home kit does the same – blending warm, sunlit tones with cooler shades to reflect the club’s signature style. The result captures the rhythm, energy, and joy of Sundown’s football, known locally as “shoeshine and piano.” The Home jersey features a yellow base with mountain blue, green and white details with the goalkeeper jersey implementing a purple base with yellow and mountain blue details.
