In a statement, Sundowns said they have instructed Ali to “return from Sudan and report at the Sundowns offices at Chloorkop and make himself available for the investigation”.

Ali allegedly offered to provide analytical data to Al Ahly fans about Al-Hilal, who the Red Devils meet in a do-or-die clash next month.

This was after Sundowns beat Al Ahly 5-2 in their Caf Champions League Group B clash at Loftus last weekend.

“It has come to the attention of Mamelodi Sundowns that certain remarks that its employee Khaled Ali, may have made during a social media discussion relating to Al Ahly and Al Hilal may be contrary to the ethics, governance and rules of Mamelodi Sundowns,” read a statement from Sundowns on Wednesday.
