Orlando-PiratesThe start of the latest edition of the MTN8 will ring loud for Orlando Pirates in their pursuit of Kaizer Chiefs on the trophy front. Prior to the start of the 2020/21 season, the men in Gold and Black were on 20 trophies with Pirates a distance away on 11 in their respective PSL era trophy collection count. Then Abdeslam Ouaddou made sure the MTN8 remains at Pirates for a historic fourth consecutive year before breaking Carling KnockOut Cup curse. Pirates had only ever won the Carling KnockOut Cup once before last season’s success. The Brazilians have won every knockout competition on the domestic scene – Nedbank Cup (5), Carling KnockOut (3), and MTN8 (2).
