Cearense 1. Division Overview

Cardoso braces up for tough conclusion to the season - 'What a helluva challenge but a beautiful thing to do'

The Brazilians' coach has previously voiced frustration over a congested fixture schedule, complaining that it places a heavy toll on his squad. His concerns have resurfaced as they now face a demanding domestic run of seven matches in just 21 days. This hectic stretch comes just before their continental final showdown against AS FAR, raising fresh worries about fatigue.

Sundowns to face Moroccan novices in CAF Champions League final

The Brazilians have discovered their opponents for the CAF Champions League final after Al Zaeem successfully navigated a tense semi-final second leg against The Orange Boys. Despite suffering a 1-0 defeat on the night, the Moroccan side did just enough to protect their first-leg 2-0 advantage and book their place in the continental showpiece.

The Portuguese helped Masandawana make history by guiding them to their final for the fourth time in the club’s history and for the second year in a row. The semi-final also produced a star for the Tshwane giants in Brayan Leon, who became just the third player on record since 2016-17 to score in four consecutive starts in the Champions League, the others being Walid Soliman in 2018 and Ayoub El Kaabi in 2019-2021.

Sundowns 1-0 Esperance: 'Pirates, do not get excited; Rhulani Mokwena is overrated'

Masandawana are getting closer and closer to their continental dream after edging one of Africa's iconic clubs from Tunisia. Brayan Leon continues to prove why the Tshwane giants pursued him in the January transfer window and is turning out to be the club's hero on the bigger stage. Despite critics putting him under pressure and constant surveillance, coach Miguel Cardoso could silence them even deeper if he finally wins the CAF trophy and defends the PSL title.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy Champions League tickets?

Apart from the UEFA Champions League final, you cannot buy tickets for the Champions League directly through UEFA itself.

Instead, they are sold club-by-club among the teams competing in this year's edition. You must visit the individual club’s website for the fixture you want to attend and buy your seat from there.

Capacity is always limited for these Champions League knockout matches, and demand often exceeds available allocation.

Will I be able to buy Champions League tickets through secondary sites?

In addition, fans can purchase seats on the secondary market. StubHub is one of the leading retailers for those seeking to buy tickets through alternative channels.

Where is the 2026 Champions League Final being played?

The Puskás Aréna in Budapest is staging this year’s Champions League Final on Saturday, May 30 at 8 pm (GMT).

It was opened in 2019 and has a 67,215-seat capacity for international matches. It is the largest stadium in Hungary, built on the site of the former Ferenc Puskás Stadium.

As well as being the home of the Hungarian national team, the Budapest venue hosted a number of games during Euro 2020 and the 2023 UEFA Europa League Final.

This is the first time a UEFA Champions League Final will be played at the Puskás Aréna.
