CAPE TOWN – Defender Fawaaz Basadien has officially completed his move from Stellenbosch FC to reigning Betway Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
Basadien joined the Cape Wineland ahead of the 2022/23 campaign and went on to make 111 appearances across all competitions during his three seasons in Stellenbosch.
The 28-year-old joins a growing list of former Stellenbosch players at Sundowns, including Iqraam Rayners and Jayden Adams.
“During that time, he contributed eight goals and 18 assists from left-back, where he played an important role in helping Stellenbosch win the 2023 Carling Knockout, achieve back-to-back top-three finishes in the Betway Premiership, and reach the CAF Confederation Cup semi-finals,” said club’s statement.
“His performances during the 2024/25 season notably saw him win the club’s Player of the Season and Players’ Player of the Season awards, while he is also a nominee for the league’s Goal of the Season accolade.
“Everyone at the club extends their sincere gratitude to Fawaaz for his professionalism, leadership, and commitment during his time in the Maroon jersey. He departs with our appreciation and best wishes as he embarks on the next chapter of his career.”
