Orlando Pirates are also scheduled to travel to Congo!
Fresh from their commanding victory over Lioli FC, Orlando Pirates now prepare to face their next challenge in the CAF Champions League: a showdown with Congolese powerhouse, Saint-Éloi Lupopo.
The Buccaneers have earned their place in this second preliminary round with authority, having decisively swept aside their Lesotho-based opponents with an emphatic 7-0 aggregate scoreline.
Their journey continues with a trip to the bustling city of Lubumbashi for the first leg—a destination that will feel familiar to South African fans, as rivals Kaizer Chiefs are also slated to play there in the CAF Confederation Cup. As the Betway Premiership runners-up, the Pirates now turn their attention to a new continental test, ready to write the next chapter in their African campaign.
