Orlando Pirates may end up playing all their CAF Confederation Cup group stages fixtures in neutral venues as their opponents have already imposed travel bans on South African clubs. Pirates are in Group A alongside Algerian outfit ES Sétif, Enyimba of Nigeria and Ahli Benghazi of Libya. Last Sunday, Algerian club CR Belouizdad couldn’t host Mamelodi Sundowns on home turf, taking the Champions League Group B clash to Tanzania. It’s an issue of long process to get visas, but I can confirm Pirates will play the Algerian club [Sétif] in Ghana. Pirates Confed Cup away games:March 10: v SétifApril 2: v BenghaziApril 28: v Enyimba
