Hail to the Purple Lions
of Orlando City Football Club, our new chaps to make their son awaited debut in
the ranks of Major League Soccer.
As many state, that soccer
is back in Florida and soon will see his chaps roar in what many will witness a
very heated and competed campaign this 2015.
These Lions are for
real and looking ahead with many promising challenges, especially from its
first ever designated player in international Brazilian sensation Kaka, already
making promises of a championship run!
Very well the club
getting reinforcements from left to right as well hearing rumors of a possible arrival
of another top star in Ronaldinho, something not confirmed by this club and
just being speculated.
Still the club did
its moves and getting top class players in American Brek Shea from English Championship
side Birmingham City as well the newly arrival of Colombian Cristian Higuita
and Carlos Rivas.
Another great addition
was North Ireland National and Huddersfield Town striker in Martin Paterson and
Honduran international Bryan Rochez as their second Designated Player..jpg)
Defensively this club
will have former Portland Timbers sensation in Donovan Ricketts under its posts
alongside internationals Aurelien Collin both of these coming under the expansion
draft and English defender and Northampton backfield in Luke Boden.
Wow and the beat goes
on as this club front office is really moving pieces like in a chess match to
get the best to its roster and become an all around contender and assemble a
winner for top Boss Adrian Heath.
Not only in the field
the OCSC is making headlines but in the ticket sales that already surpassed the
11,000 mark and among one of those important ticket holders were among former MLB
slugger Ken Griffey Jr.
Another plus that
this club has is in its two support groups in the Ruckus and the Iron Lion Firm
ready to make history in the stands and try to be among the elite of league
supporters.
With their own stadium
in the works in downtown Orlando City, the Lions will have a place to call home
on 2016 with a nice state of the art venue that will seat more than 19,000 fans.
For now the OCSC will
play at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando with a capacity of 65,000 and maybe the
Lions followers can make all sorts of record attendances with their new squad
in its temporary venue as the Seattle Sounders did in their first year of
inception.
Hopes are high as
well optimism reigns in the Lions squad and its followers for a prime time debut
and campaign overall performance to contend hopefully in the league postseason
as an expansion squad.
Maybe this club can
make a lot of headlines in their first campaign of inception in MLS and be a
hardened squad to deal with and be as competitive as its current roster hopefully
works wonders!
Welcome aboard
Orlando City Soccer Club to Major league Soccer!
