Orlando Pirates
2nd in South African Premier Division2024 Schedule



















































Two weeks after leaving South Africa's Orlando Pirates, José Riveiro was announced on social media as the new head coach of Egypt's Al Ahly on Thursday ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup.

Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates will face off in the first Nedbank Cup final between the Soweto giants since 2006, spoiling fans with a second Soweto Derby inside a week as they clash in Durban on Saturday.

The PSL's biggest fixture is back as struggling Kaizer Chiefs take on title-chasing Orlando Pirates at the FNB Stadium on May 3. The Buccaneers have won the last four Soweto derbies, so can the Glamour Boys end their run?

A last-gasp own goal gave Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa an upset result over holders Al Ahly on Friday and a place against another Egyptian club, Pyramids, in next month's African Champions League final.

Orlando Pirates and Pyramids only had one shot each on target in the first leg of their CAF Champions League semi-final at FNB Stadium, which unsurprisingly ended in a 0-0 draw.

Fresh off progression to the Nedbank Cup final, Orlando Pirates will host Pyramids FC at FNB Stadium on Saturday, in the first leg of their CAF Champions League semi-final.

South Africa's Betway Premiership, AKA the PSL, is one of Africa's most stable leagues, but simultaneously never short of drama, and 2025 has not been any different.

Off the back of their CAF Champions League quarter-final success, Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates will look to continue their dominant seasons and set up a second straight Nedbank Cup final clash.

Orlando Pirates will look to defend their 1-0 aggregate lead as they host MC Alger in the second leg of their CAF Champions League quarter-final tie on Wednesday April 9.

Orlando Pirates will visit Algeria's MC Alger at the Stade du 5-Juillet-1962 on April 1, looking to continue their unbeaten CAF Champions League campaign in the quarterfinal first leg.
