Pyramids FC of Egypt triumphed over South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns with a 2-1 victory in the second leg of the CAF Champions League final, achieving a 3-2 aggregate win to claim their first title. Fiston Mayele scored the initial goal in the 23rd minute, benefiting from a Sundowns defensive error. Ahmed Samy later doubled the lead with a header from a free-kick in the second half, solidifying the team's performance in front of their home fans at the 30 June Stadium in Cairo, according to Reuters and Channel News Asia.

After the first leg ended in a 1-1 draw, Pyramids needed this solid performance to clinch the trophy, making them the fourth Egyptian club ever to win the prestigious title, joining the ranks of Al Ahly, Zamalek, and Ismaily. Coach Krunoslav Jurcic noted the significance of this win for the club, which has only participated twice in the Champions League, and emphasized their desire to emerge from the shadows of established clubs within Egypt, according to Channel News Asia and Reuters.

Despite their achievement in the continent, Jurcic acknowledged the team's ongoing challenge to compete domestically, as they still seek to confront traditional giants like Al Ahly and Zamalek in the Egyptian league. “It's very difficult to compete against a club like them,” he remarked, reflecting on their journey and the support they are beginning to gain from local fans, as evidenced by the strong turnout during the final match, according to Channel News Asia and Reuters.

The Pyramids FC victory was celebrated by fans across the continent, with supporters expressing hope for sustained success in the future after their historic win. "The whole organization has been doing well for four years. They are a strong team and they deserve to win the championship," said a fan, reflecting a sense of optimism and unity among Pyramids supporters, according to Africanews and Reuters.
