Tonight, Orlando City B returns to the field for the first time since 2017. After playing two years in the United Soccer League, Orlando City’s second team took the 2018 season off as it awaited the launch of a new third division league, USL League One. In the first game of the 2019 season, the Young Lions will welcome FC Tucson.
For many Orlando City fans, this will be the first time they have the opportunity to see some young players whose MLS rights are held by the club. While the club doesn’t hold the rights to all players, it may also provide the opportunity to see some future players that the club decides to sign to MLS deals.
