An African club has now revealed why their bid to use Orlando Pirates' Orlando Stadium as their venue for their upcoming CAF Confederation Cup matches was refused.
Zimbabwean outfit Dynamos have confirmed that their attempts to use Orlando Stadium as their home venue for the CAFCC have failed.

The club is unable to play any of their matches in Zimbabwe, as none of the venues in the country meet CAF's stadium requirements.
Dynamos were drawn against Zambian side ZESCO United in the first preliminary round of the Confederation Cup, with the Zim club set to host the first leg of the tie on 16 August.
However, Dynamos have since revealed that their efforts to be allowed to use Orlando Stadium in Soweto for that match were rejected due to the fact that the upcoming season's league fixtures are yet to be announced following the league's title sponsor change to the Betway Premiership this week, so there was no guarantee that their game would not clash with that of Orlando Pirates.
Dynamos chief executive officer Jonathan Mashingaidze told The Herald: "We tried and failed to secure Orlando Stadium in South Africa because the upcoming new season's fixtures in South Africa are yet to be finalised.
"So, they couldn't grant us any stadium because the start of their new season is scheduled for around the same time as our CAF Confederation Cup match.
"So, in terms of fixturing, there were no guarantees that the dates wouldn't clash."
"That's why we ended up running around to secure a venue in Botswana.
"We are happy that we managed to do just that and we are calling upon Zimbabweans in Botswana to rally behind the team.
"There are so many things to be done so we are visiting Botswana (on Thursday).
"There is paperwork to be completed between us and the Botswana National Sport Commission."
