Get behind Pirates

SOWETO – Orlando Pirates will be facing their biggest test when they are playing in the first leg of the CAF Champions League final against Al Ahly from Egypt.
Kick-off is at 20:30.
The next and second leg will be playing in Egypt.
“It is always better to play away in the first leg, thus Al Ahly has the upper hand, but we are going to do our best and hope things work out well for us so that we can go to them with a win,” said Head coach of Orlando Pirates, Roger Da SA.
Premier Soccer League (PSL) CEO, Brand de Villiers has urged South Africans to rally behind Orlando Pirates this weekend as well.
“This is a big moment for South Africa and Southern African football. We have waited for almost two decades for one of our clubs to win the CAF Champions League and Orlando Pirates are just two games away from reclaiming continental victory. This is a proud moment for me as a CEO of the League and a South African,” De Villiers said.
“I would like to wish the club, its chairman Dr Khoza, coach Roger de Sa, his technical team and the players the best of luck this weekend. It is important that as South Africans we put all our club allegiances aside and rally behind Orlando Pirates when they face Al Ahly at Orlando Stadium. Fans must purchase a ticket and go to the stadium. Orlando Pirates have been brilliant so far, now they need to get that second star,” he said.
Orlando Pirates first won the CAF Champions League back in 1995. Since then, no other Southern African side has managed to win the CAF Champions League.
