Ouaddou embraces pressure as Pirates target Carling success

October 04, 2025

ABDESLAM Ouaddou knows he's under pressure to deliver every piece of silverware at Orlando Pirates, which is why they aim to go all out in the third edition of the Carling Knockout.

- MIHLALI BALEKA

Ouaddou has enjoyed a purple patch at Pirates, winning seven games in a row in all competitions, including the MTN8 crown - the club's record-extending fourth successive title in the competition.

Having turned the tide after a patchy start - which included backto-back losses in the Betway Premiership - expectations have mounted on Ouaddou to win silverware with every passing competition, including the Carling Knockout.

The league cup eluded Pirates in the last two seasons under Ouaddou's predecessor, Jose Riveiro. They lost to Richards Bay in the quarterfinals of its inaugural season, and to eventual champions Magesi in the opening round last campaign.
