Orlando Pirates will be enjoying a pre-season tour after a well-deserved break at the end of 2024-2025. Where are the Sea Robbers going?
Are Orlando Pirates heading to Germany?
Pirates were in Spain for the European summer last year. This time around, they’re reportedly heading to Germany.
“What I know is that the club is believed to be changing their pre-season training camp from Spain to Germany. For now, almost all the logistics for the trip to Germany are as good as done. All the involved parties are believed to have agreed on this pre-season camp in Germany.”
“At that time (of the tour), they are believed to have the new coach in, when they are going to Germany. They want to use that time to build a bond between the new coach, the technical team, and the players to get ready for next season,” a second source told Soccer Laduma.
Do Orlando Pirates need a new striker?
Although the Buccaneers are blessed with options at the sharp end with Tshegofatso Mabasa, Evidence Makgopa and Boitumelo Radiopane, they might be looking at a different style of number 9. Fiston Mayele is a popular name in the media, but will they go for a guy on the wrong side of 30, especially with a rumoured price tag of R12 million?
What did Makgopa and Mabasa do to offend Hugo Broos?
