RB Leipzig defender Willi Orbán says he is relishing the chance to take on African champions Mamelodi Sundowns.

The Bundesliga outfit travelled to South Africa for the first time as part of their international tour.

Leipzig are scheduled to take on the Brazilians in a friendly match when they meet at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Friday, May 29.

The match—part of the “Re Kaofela” South Africa Tour—will kick off at 20:00 local time in Pretoria

Orbán says he is excited to feel the atmosphere of playing against Sundowns in one of the most iconic stadiums in South Africa.

“It’ll be an exciting experience at a high level,” Orbán told his club’s official website.

“They won the Champions League in Africa just a few days ago. I’m looking forward to a brilliant atmosphere and a good game. It’ll be intense.”
