Orlando Pirates Confirm Date, Time and Venue for Next CAF Champions League Match

Orlando Pirates have confirmed the date, kick-off time and venue for their next CAF Champions League fixture as the Soweto giants prepare for an important away encounter against Tanzanian side Simba SC.

The Buccaneers will travel to Tanzania for the continental showdown, which is scheduled to take place on Saturday, 28 November 2026. The match will kick off at 15:00 South African time at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam.

The fixture represents another important test for the Soweto giants as they continue their campaign in Africa’s biggest club competition. With the group-stage matches becoming increasingly important, Pirates will be determined to collect valuable points away from home.

Facing Simba SC in Tanzania will not be an easy assignment for the South African side. The Tanzanian club has a strong following and will enjoy the advantage of playing in front of its home supporters. However, Pirates will travel with the ambition of producing a positive result and strengthening their position in the group.

The Buccaneers have enjoyed considerable success in South African football and will now be looking to carry that confidence into their continental campaign. Their performances in domestic competitions have demonstrated their ability to compete against difficult opposition, but the CAF Champions League presents a different challenge.

For head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, the encounter will provide an opportunity to assess his team’s strength against one of the well-known clubs in East African football. Pirates will need to approach the match with concentration, discipline and determination, particularly because playing away from home in continental competitions can be challenging.

The supporters will also be hoping to see their team deliver a strong performance in Dar es Salaam. Orlando Pirates have a proud history in African football, including their memorable CAF Champions League triumph in 1995, and their fans will want to see the club compete for another major continental achievement.

With the date, time and venue now confirmed, attention will gradually turn to preparations for the encounter. The technical team will have to ensure that the players are physically and mentally ready for the challenge.

The message is clear: Orlando Pirates are heading to Tanzania with the intention of making their presence felt on the African stage.
