Orlando City UK was shocked and bitterly disappointed at Major League Soccer for diluting the 2024 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Back in March, 21 MLS first teams were withdrawn from the tournament – including Orlando City SC. Only five years old, Leagues Cup has effectively replaced a legitimate U.S. Open Cup this season. We believe this decision is highly disrespectful, lacks integrity, and completely undermines the history of the oldest cup competition for soccer in the United States. At this time, Orlando City UK cannot extend its support to the 2024 Leagues Cup. This means there will be no L ..read more

Failing to win any of our previous eight MLS games in Foxborough, Orlando City SC have now finally defeated New England Revolution away after securing a 1-3 comeback victory on Saturday night. Our fourth win in five MLS games and the first time we’ve achieved three consecutive victories since September / October 2023, the Lions appear to be coming good when it matters!

Embed from Getty Images Could the tide finally be turning? Maybe, just maybe after Orlando City SC emphatically thrashed D.C. United 5-0 at Inter&Co Stadium last Saturday. Just our seventh MLS victory of 2024, it was crucially the first time we’ve achieved back-to-back wins all season. Completing a 2024 sweep over D.C. United, Orlando City SC ruthlessly punished Troy Lesesne’s poor side and climbed three places into seventh in the East – the coveted final automatic qualification spot for the 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs. Form and consistency is what will earn us a place in the post-season and hav ..read more

Embed from Getty Images We are finally back to winning ways and not a moment too soon! In a must-win game under pressure, Orlando City SC came from behind to defeat Toronto FC 1-2 at BMO Field yesterday evening. Just as City supporters were getting that sinking feeling again following Derrick Etienne Jr.’s early fifth minute opener, the Lions bounced back with a Martín Ojeda equaliser and a Nicksoen Gomis own goal. This result, coupled with Atlanta United’s 2-1 loss to the New England Revolution last night means that Orlando City SC have now climbed level on points (21) with both Toronto FC an ..read more
