Orlando Pirates have confirmed that their first-leg semi-final match in the CAF Champions League will be held at FNB Stadium.
The Buccaneers will go head-to-head against the Egyptian team Pyramids at FNB Stadium this Saturday at 18:00.
While Orlando Stadium is typically their primary home ground, it is not available this weekend due to the Grace Bible event scheduled there.
The booking for the Grace Bible Church at Orlando Stadium was made prior to Pirates reaching this stage of the Champions League. It’s worth noting that this tournament is generally held at Orlando Stadium each year.
Pirates secured their place in the Champions League semi-finals by defeating MC Alger from Algeria with a score of 1-0 on aggregate in their two-legged quarter-final tie last weekend.
Mamelodi Sundowns, the other South African team in the semi-finals, will be taking on another Egyptian side, Al Ahly, at Loftus Stadium earlier on Saturday.
This milestone is significant, as it is the first occasion that two South African teams have both reached the CAF Champions League semi-finals in the same year.
