Free State Stars have wished African Champions Mamelodi Sundowns well after they flew to Japan to participate in the Fifa Club World Cup.

Pitso Mosimane’s side automatically qualified for the tournament after winning the CAF Champions League against Egyptian side Zamalek.

Ea Lla Koto are confident that the defending Absa Premiership Champions will represent the country with distinction at the global competition after their recent good run of form.

The Brazilians will now face the winner of the playoff match between New Zealand side Auckland City and hosts Kashima Antlers – in Osaka on 11 December.

Should they win, Sundowns will take on Colombian side Atletico Nacional on 14 December, with the winner of the match booking their place in the final on the 18th, with a potential clash against European Champions Real Madrid.
