The build‑up is finally over and anticipation has reached fever pitch: Orlando Pirates will launch their 2025/26 Betway Premiership campaign at home against a determined Sekhukhune United.
The clash is scheduled for Saturday, 9 August 2025, with kick‑off set at 17:30 CAT, at the iconic Orlando Stadium in Soweto .
It’s a fixture brimming with promise. Under the stewardship of newly appointed head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, the Buccaneers have hit the ground running, dispatching Polokwane City 2‑0 in their MTN8 quarter‑final last weekend. Star signing Oswin Appollis shone brightly, finding the net and earning the penalty that sealed the win .
Across the pitch, Sekhukhune United arrived battle‑hardened and confident. They stormed into the MTN8 semi‑finals after staging a dramatic 3‑2 comeback against TS Galaxy—thanks in no small part to a brace from veteran striker Bradley Grobler and a late winner from Vusimuzi Mncube .
This match isn’t just the curtain‑raiser—it’s a statement. The Pirates are keen to reaffirm their title ambitions, while Sekhukhune United will be equally determined to send a message: they mean business.
