Orlando Pirates History

The Orlando Pirates A brief history of Orlando Pirates (courtesy of www.orlandopiratesfc.com website)

They are the reigning South African champions, having clinched the Premier Soccer League title in May 2003 for their second championship in three years.

The club celebrated their 65th anniversary, last year and are one of the oldest professional outfits in the country.

Orlando Pirates football club's roots are in the famous township of Soweto on the outskirts of Johannesburg and they enjoy passionate support around the country.

Known as the 'Buccaneers' or 'Sea Robber's, they have a large squad packed with internationals, including last year’s leading goal scorer Lesley Manyathela.

The 22-year-old returned at the weekend after a trial at Greek club OFI Crete.

The side are coached by Roy Barretto, former national coach of Zimbabwe, who lead them to the title in his first season in charge.

Pirates are expected to be field several new signings in Saturday's match against Spurs. They have recently signed Democratic Republic of Congo internationals Felix Mumaba Musasa and goalkeeper Muteba Kidiaba.

Orlando Pirates will be in Durban as from Tuesday, July 22 to start their preparations for the International Bid Club Challenge against English giants Tottenham Hotspur at Absa Stadium on Saturday.
