Orlando Pirates Confirm CAF Clash With Simba in Dar es Salaam On 28 November

Orlando Pirates have confirmed the date, kick-off time and venue for their next CAF Champions League match, an away fixture against Tanzanian side Simba SC. The game will be played on Saturday, 28 November 2026 at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam. Kick-off is at 15:00 South African time.

The match is an important one for the Soweto club as they continue their campaign in the continent’s biggest club competition. Group-stage games carry more weight as the competition goes on, and Pirates will want to pick up valuable points away from home.

It will not be an easy trip. Simba SC have a strong following and will have the support of their own fans in Dar es Salaam. Playing away in African competition is often difficult, and Pirates will need to arrive focused and disciplined if they are to come away with a good result.

Pirates have done well in South African football, and their results in domestic competitions have shown that they can compete against tough opposition. The Champions League is a different kind of test, though, and the club will hope to carry its confidence into this stage.

For head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, the match is a chance to measure his team against one of the best known clubs in East African football. The technical team will also have to make sure the players are fit and mentally ready for the journey and the occasion.

Supporters will be hoping for a strong showing. The club has a proud history on the continent, having won the CAF Champions League in 1995, and fans would love to see it challenge for another major title in Africa.

With the details now confirmed, attention turns to the team’s preparations for the trip to Tanzania.
