Breaking News: Mamelodi Sundowns announce the signing of Fawaaz Basadien
In a significant coup for the defending champions, Mamelodi Sundowns have officially completed the signing of South African international Fawaaz Basadien from Stellenbosch FC. The 28-year-old defender arrives at Chloorkop after establishing himself as one of the Premiership's most consistent performers during his three-year stint in the Cape Winelands.
This strategic acquisition sees Sundowns outmaneuver Soweto rivals Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates in the race for the Bafana Bafana star's signature. The Brazilians' social media announcement captured the excitement surrounding the move: "The Yellow Nation is proud to welcome Bafana Bafana international defender, Fawaaz Basadien to the Sundowns family."
Basadien's arrival bolsters Rhulani Mokwena's defensive options as the club prepares for another demanding campaign on multiple fronts. His proven Premiership experience and international pedigree make him an ideal fit for Sundowns' ambitious project, adding both quality and depth to their backline. The left-footed defender's ability to contribute in both defensive and attacking phases should see him become an immediate asset for the Tshwane giants.
