We all know Florida is purple now. And based on this past weekend, it very well stayed that way.
Orlando City’s U-15 and U-17 teams both defeated Inter Miami’s academy squads over the weekend in MLS NEXT competition. The U-15 team won a hard-fought 3-2 result while the U-17s dominated 4-0.
“We’re very happy with the performance by our players against a very good opponent,” said Orlando City Academy Director Marcelo Neveleff. “These MLS matchups make us grow. Our players individually grow, our program grows, we all get better and get challenged. Our players are learning how to compete which is very important to us.
