The wait is almost over for all Buccaneers faithful eager to catch a glimpse of the new-look squad in action. Orlando Pirates kick off their 2025/26 Preseason Tour in Marbella, Spain, with a clash against English outfit Bolton Wanderers on Friday, 11 July.
The encounter promises to be more than just a friendly – it’s a first look at the Club’s latest signings and the debut outing for newly appointed Head Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou.
In a bid to bring the action closer to home, the Club’s Media Team, in collaboration with Vodacom and SuperSportBet, is proud to announce that the match will be broadcast live on SuperSport 202. For supporters who prefer online viewing, Pirates TV, the Club’s official YouTube channel, will also stream the game live.
Friday’s encounter will serve as Ouaddou’s first test in charge of the Soweto Giants, who have been hard at work in Marbella since their arrival earlier this week. Meanwhile, Bolton Wanderers who are led by Steven Schumacher, come into the match as a well-prepared unit, having already secured seven new signings this transfer window as they mount a serious push for promotion from League One.
