Luiz Muzzi hasn’t been shy about saying he wants to Orlando City’s development pyramid to be integrated in a way that creates a pipeline from the academy level to the first team.
The club announced it was taking a major step Wednesday toward making that vision a reality. Orlando City’s development academy, Orlando City B of USL League One and Orlando City’s first team will all be housed at the club’s new Osceola Heritage Park training facility in Kissimmee, Fla., by 2020. Orlando City SC also announced a new training ground for its NWSL side, the Orlando Pride.
