Orlando Pirates are a South African football (soccer) club, founded in 1937 in the Orlando section of Soweto, Johannesburg.
Orlando Pirates is South Africa’s oldest football club formed in 1937 in Orlando East, Soweto and their performances over the years have served as an inspiration for young soccer players to strive to play the Beautiful Game at the highest level in the fl and white colours of the ‘Buccaneers’.
The Soweto derby between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates is one of the most fiercely contested matches in world soccer, perhaps only upstaged in competitiveness by the Rangers vs Celtic derby in Glasgow.

 United thrash Orlando Pirates
And Pirates did precious little to lift the pall of gloom for a 30 000 crowd as they huffed and puffed and re-emphasised the glaring shortcomings that exist in so many facets of South African soccer at this moment.
If Pirates were shown up most in the area of clinical and precise finishing, they invariably took up wrong options as well in deciding what to do with the ball and demonstrated none of the effective perception displayed in the ranks of United's budding youngsters.
And it has to be remembered that a further indictment against last season's PSL runners-up was the fact that theoretically everything was supposed to be in their favour on home soil against a side deprived of all their World Cup stars and who only arrived in South Africa little 24 hours before the kick-off.
