African Stars are preparing for a major test against South African giants Orlando Pirates in the second preliminary round of the CAF Champions League.
The first leg is scheduled for 17 October 2026 in Gaborone, Botswana, before the return fixture in South Africa on 23 October 2026.
The two-legged encounter presents African Stars with an opportunity to demonstrate their quality against established opposition as they pursue progress in Africa’s premier club competition.
With sponsorship support and preparations underway, the Windhoek-based side will be looking to turn its off-field backing into a competitive performance against the South African outfit.
The club’s continental campaign also provides an opportunity to raise the profile of Namibian football and demonstrate the potential of local players on a wider stage.
