Fans during the Nedbank Cup final match between Orlando Pirates and Sekhukhune United at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on May 27, 2023 in Pretoria, South Africa.The Boycott Divest Sanctions movement has once again attempted to undermine South African sports by creating controversy where there is none in a scheduled pre-season match in Spain this week between Orlando Pirates and Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv.
This own goal would be a grave injustice to SA sports, as well as the positive role that sport plays in bringing people of diverse backgrounds together, and we call on Pirates to stand firm.
