After a year’s hiatus, Orlando City B returned in 2019 as an integral part of Orlando City’s player development system. Forming the link between the club’s development academy and first team, OCB allows young players to continue within the club’s structure until they’re ready to join the MLS side.
It’s been a difficult 2019 season for OCB. The team only claimed three wins and four draws in its 21 games. While winning isn’t the most important thing for OCB, its current losing streak may be hindering the development of its players.
The primary purpose of OCB is to develop players for the first team.
