Fresh off their Betway Premiership triumph, Orlando Pirates’ players now turn their attention from domestic glory to international duty, with a major World Cup opportunity awaiting them in the Bafana Bafana setup.
Orlando Pirates have emerged as one of the biggest contributors to the national team picture, with nine of their players included in coach Hugo Broos’ 32-man preliminary squad for the upcoming World Cup campaign.
The announcement caps a standout season for the Soweto giants, who not only secured league success but also underlined the growing influence of their squad at national level.
Contenders for player of the season honours, Relebohile Mofokeng and Oswin Appollis, are expect to have a huge influence, while PSL record breaker in clean sheets, Sipho Chaine's place is up in the air in the goalkeeping department.
