This partnership not only highlights the synergy between a leading beverage brand and a top-tier football club but also sets the stage for a memorable campaign at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. With the support of Carling Black Label, Mamelodi Sundowns are poised to make a lasting impact on the global football stage.
