Orlando Pirates claimed a priceless victory in their CAF Confederation Cup semi-final against Al Ahly Tripoli in Libya, and will now face Morocco’s RS Berkane in the title decider on Friday.
As broken down in a report by KickOff.com, Pirates have already banked $450 000 (approximately R7,266 million) for reaching the semi-final, and they are now set for an ever bigger payday.
Lifting the CAF Confederation Cup would see them walk away with $1,25 million (approximately R20,156 million), while the runners-up would claim $625 000 (approximately R10,078 million).
Confederation Cup winners would also go on to the CAF Super Cup once-off final in early August, which is worth $200 000 (approximately R3,2 million).
Should the Buccaneers go all the way and pocket big money, how do you think they should spend it? Vote below:
