A history of SA teams to appear in CAF Champions League final News24 In a twist of home-grown fate, this year's CAF Champions League final is guaranteed to see a South African lift the prestigious continental trophy. Flying the SA flag are Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs, who will contest their first-ever African club final impressively in their maiden campaign. While fellow South African, Pitso Mosimane leads their opponents - the competition's most successful team - Al Ahly under the guise of the Egyptian flag. It will be only the third time that a South African team contests the competition's finals, since its establishment in 1997.
