Sundowns striker Shalulile targets goals and glory at FIFA Club World Cup

Mamelodi Sundowns’ talismanic striker Peter Shalulile is dreaming big as the South African giants prepare for their second-ever appearance at the FIFA Club World Cup, taking place in the United States of America.

It’s a return to the global stage that has been years in the making for the Brazilians, who last featured in the tournament in 2016. Back then, under Pitso Mosimane, Sundowns exited without a win. Now, with a more mature squad and a clear continental identity, they are determined to make a statement — and for Shalulile, the stakes are deeply personal.
