Orlando City announced the initial 2023 roster for its second team, Orlando City B, which will be playing its second season in the third division MLS NEXT Pro. This year’s team is made up of new arrivals and academy products.
The initial roster consists of 19 players — 13 on MLS NEXT Pro contracts and six on academy contracts. The academy contracts keep those players eligible to play in college. The roster also has nine players from the 2022 OCB squad.
“It’s an exciting time with another MLS NEXT Pro season approaching,” Orlando City Assistant General Manager and Technical Director Ricardo Moreira said in a club press release.
