Nkosinathi Sibisi says Orlando Pirates still fully believe they can win the Betway Premiership title despite dropping crucial points against Durban City.

The Buccaneers were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw at the Orlando Amstel Arena on Saturday in their final home game of the season.

The result means Pirates must now beat Orbit College FC at Mbombela Stadium in their final match of the campaign if they are to overtake Mamelodi Sundowns and lift the league trophy.

Victory over Durban City would have wrapped up the title race, but Pirates now face a difficult task against an Orbit side fighting to avoid relegation.

Despite the setback, Sibisi insists belief inside the Pirates camp remains strong.

“We are still there, we are still within our objectives,” Sibisi told Pirates media after the match.

“There is no reason to doubt that we will win the title. The performance today showed that we wanted to win.

Unfortunately, it was not enough. But in our final game against Orbit, there is no reason not to believe.”

The Pirates captain admitted the players were disappointed not to give supporters a winning send-off at home.

“We would have loved to end the season at home with three points. It wasn’t meant to be; we tried. It wasn’t through a lack of fighting. The boys tried until the final whistle,” he added.

Statistics showed Pirates had more than 30 attempts on goal against Durban City, but failed to find the breakthrough, leaving supporters anxiously waiting to see if the club can finally end its 14-year wait for a league title.

Orbit College FC has officially confirmed details for their upcoming Betway Premiership clash against Orlando Pirates.

The highly anticipated fixture will take place on Saturday, 23 May 2026 at Mbombela Stadium. And tickets are expected to sell out fast.

Kick-off is scheduled for 3 pm. The match was initially set for Olympia Park Stadium in Rustenburg. But the venue was unavailable, and Orbit was forced to seek an alternative one for this match.

Orbit thanked all relevant stakeholders for their cooperation in securing a compliant venue capable of hosting a match of such magnitude.

“This fixture represents another important moment in Orbit College FC’s historic journey in the Betway Premiership,” the club said in a statement.

The club also reaffirmed its commitment to delivering a professionally organised event that reflects league standards and the spirit of South African football.

Further information regarding match day operations and logistics will be communicated through the club’s official platforms in due course.

If Pirates win their sold-out game against Durban City at Orlando Amstel Arena on Saturday, Orbit will have to give them a guard of honour when they host them.

The Buccaneers are three points short of winning the title that has been in Mamelodi Sundowns’ hands for the past eight years.

Orbit College FC and Orlando Pirates are heading into one of the biggest fixtures of the Betway Premiership season without a confirmed venue.
With just over a week remaining before kickoff, Orbit has revealed that their highly anticipated clash against Pirates currently has no stadium secured.
The match was originally scheduled to take place at Royal Bafokeng Stadium on Saturday, 23 May.
However, Orbit confirmed that the venue is no longer available.
“This follows confirmation from the stadium management that the facility will remain unavailable until 30 June 2026,” the club said in a statement.
The “Mswenko Boys” are now racing against time to secure an alternative venue capable of hosting what could become a title-deciding encounter.
“The club is currently in the process of securing an alternative compliant venue capable of hosting a fixture of this magnitude,” Orbit added.
“A final confirmation regarding the venue will be communicated by Friday, 15 May 2026.”
The uncertainty has sparked concern among football fans, especially with the massive significance attached to the fixture.
If results go in their favour, the Pirates could potentially lift the Betway Premiership trophy after the match.
This is also not the first time Orbit has faced venue complications this season.
Their earlier clash against Kaizer Chiefs was moved away from their home ground to Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium under similar circumstances.
Meanwhile, the title race remains finely balanced.
Pirates still need to win both of their remaining matches to keep alive their hopes of ending their long wait for league glory.
At the same time, Mamelodi Sundowns can pile even more pressure on the Buccaneers when they face TS Galaxy at Mbombela Stadium on Tuesday evening.
With the league title hanging in the balance, uncertainty around the venue is only adding more drama to an already chaotic finish to the season.
