Bucs Camp: Pirates’ highly anticipated show set to reveal behind-the-scenes action
Orlando Pirates supporters are already counting down the days after promotional snippets of the club’s popular Bucs Camp series sent social media into a frenzy.
The behind-the-scenes show has become a fan favourite since it was introduced three years ago, giving supporters a closer look into life inside the Buccaneers camp, from training sessions and team activities to moments rarely seen by the public.
This season’s edition is expected to attract even more attention after the Pirates enjoyed one of their most memorable campaigns in recent history.
The Soweto giants dominated domestic football under coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, completing a remarkable treble by lifting the MTN8, Carling Knockout, and Betway Premiership titles. The league crown was especially significant as it ended the club’s painful 14-year wait.
Pirates also took full advantage while rivals Mamelodi Sundowns shifted much of their focus towards the CAF Champions League, where Masandawana eventually captured their long-awaited second continental title.
Now, supporters are eager to get an inside look at what really happened during the successful season.
Bucs Camp is set to start airing on Sunday, June 5, on SuperSport 202 and the Orlando Pirates’ official YouTube channel.
One teaser clip already has supporters talking. In the footage, Ouaddou appears visibly frustrated as he attempts to confront a player.
“We’re not here for jokes…” the coach is heard saying before calling out the player.
Moments later, players, including captain Nkosinathi Sibisi, intervene and stop him from approaching the individual.
The incident immediately sparked speculation online, with many supporters convinced the player involved could be Sipho Mbule.
Whether the mystery will finally be solved remains to be seen, but one thing is certain — Bucs Camp is already creating plenty of buzz before its first episode has even aired.
