Sundowns announced on their twitter account on Friday night that they will be hosting Barcelona.

This is not the first time Sundowns will be playing against Barcelona – the two teams went head to head in June 2007 at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria where Barca won 2-1.

Most recently Sundowns won the Absa Premiership Champions for the eighth time after beating Ajax Cape Town 3-1 at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday.

Barca will hold a press conference on Monday to confirm their participation in an international friendly game against Bafana Ba Style.

Sundowns President, Patrice Motsepe also made the announcement on Metro FM’S The Ultimate Sport Show on Friday.

“The plan was to make the announcement on Monday in Spain. Somehow it got into the public domain and there have been so many enquiries,” Motsepe told the listeners.
