Orlando Pirates have released their jersey numbers for this year’s CAF interclub competitions, with some notable changes to the numbers they released for domestic football.
Some notable changes saw Patrick Maswanganyi pick up the vacated No. 10, which was free after Vincent Pule left the club. While ‘Tito’ switched from 28 to 10, Relebohile Mofokeng also left his 38 to pick up No.3 – Thembinkosi Lorch’s former number.
Meanwhile, new signing Deano Van Rooyen was allocated the No. 30 shirt.
“The rules according to the Confederation of African Football, for all continental tournaments allows for a maximum of 40 registered players, all sporting the numbers 1-40, and without names on the jerseys,” Pirates explained the changes.
“With this in mind, the previously unused Orlando Pirates jersey numbers 10, 13 and 22 will once again make an on-field return in this season’s installment of Africa’s premier club competition.
“Other jersey number changes will include the players who are usually numbered higher than 40 in the season roster, and these players will don the numbers currently vacated by the unregistered squad players for this phase of the competition.”
Below are all Pirates jersey numbers for CAF:
