Pirates look for domestic rebound after disappointing defeat
The Star
|October 22, 2025
THE Sea Robbers’ sails have been blown wide, but they remain the masters of their own destiny when it comes to their domestic and continental campaigns.
Orlando Pirates were hammered 3-0 by Saint Eloi Lupopo in the first leg of the CAF Champions League second-round preliminary qualifier in Lubumbashi over the weekend — putting them under immense pressure ahead of the second leg at Orlando Stadium on Saturday (3pm).
Pirates need to win the match to qualify for the group stage. And alas, should they fail to qualify, they will have squandered the opportunity to build on last season’s semifinal run under coach Jose Riveiro.
And perhaps therein lies the problem. When Abdeslam Ouaddou was appointed as the new Pirates coach, he took the job knowing full well that he had big shoes to fill.
That includes excelling in continental football - especially considering that Pirates were the first South African team to win the CAF Champions League back in 1995S.

Building Africa's startup ecosystem requires grit, trust and corporate courage
THE stories of startups in Silicon Valley often start in garages with founders backed by easy access to capital and forgiving safety nets. In Africa, the reality is very different. Entrepreneurs on the continent aren't innovating from the top of Maslow’s hierarchy, but at the base, solving urgent, everyday challenges where failure can mean families go hungry. That makes African founders some of the most resilient in the world, but the capital environment rarely matches their ingenuity.
