Orlando Pirates open to facing Mamelodi Sundowns opponents Al Ahly - Mbele

Orlando Pirates have dismissed reports indicating they will take on Egyptian powerhouse Al Ahly next month.

The Red Devils have been pitted against Pirates' PSL rivals Mamelodi Sundowns in this season's Caf Champions League quarter-final tie.

News coming out of Egypt indicated Al Ahly were set to face the Buccaneers two days before they battle with Sundowns in the second-leg clash which will be played in Pretoria on March 6.

However, Pirates' administrative manager Floyd Mbele has moved swiftly to refute the rumours.

“Al Ahly did not send us letters about a friendly match during the coming period, and we do not know anything about this,” Mbele told the Egyptian sports website, FilGoal.
