Orlando Pirates Football Club has recently addressed reports in the media, specifically responding to an article by Soccer Laduma claimed to involve misleading information concerning transfer and financial matters[1][4][7]. The club emphasized the importance of verifying facts before publication and reaffirmed its commitment to transparency with its fans.

The team has been active in the transfer market ahead of the 2025/26 season. New signings include Kamogelo Sebelebele from TS Galaxy and Oswin Appollis from Polokwane City[1][3]. Additionally, Orlando Pirates secured the signatures of several other players such as Yanela Mbuthuma and Nkosikhona Ndaba from Richards Bay, Masindi Nemtajela from Marumo Gallants, Tshepang Moremi from Amazulu, Sinoxolo Kwayiba from Chippa United, Sihle Nduli from Stellenbosch, and Tshepo Mashiloane from Baroka[3]. The club also officially welcomed new head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou[3].

Conversely, there were several notable departures. Monnapule Saleng joined Orbit College on loan after being linked with Egypt’s Al Ahly, and Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo left the club, with expectations he will join Chippa United[3][6]. In a separate transfer, Mohau Nkota moved to Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia[3][5].

During preseason, Orlando Pirates continued squad development, notably drawing a pre-season friendly against Pafos in Marbella, Spain, and facing England’s Bolton Wanderers in another friendly at the Marbella Football Center on July 11, 2025[1][2]. These games have been crucial for integrating new signings and assessing tactical options for the upcoming season.

The club is also celebrating players who are contenders for major accolades in the recently announced 2025 PSL Awards, underlining a strong finish to last season and high hopes for the new campaign[1].
