'It doesn’t matter where Orlando Pirates play' - Motale backs Bucs to excel at Ellis Park

Orlando Pirates legend Edward Motale believes his former club will perform well at Ellis Park Stadium when the 2019/20 campaign resumes next month.

The Buccaneers were drawn to play their home games at the 2010 Fifa World Cup venue as one of the Biological Safe Environment (BSE) venues for the remainder of the season.

Bucs have made their traditional home ground Orlando Stadium a fortress in recent times, as they are undefeated at the venue in the PSL this season having recorded seven wins and three draws.
