Orlando City’s History Against South Florida Foes

On July 8, Orlando City will return to action when it takes on Inter Miami CF for the first time to open the MLS is Back Tournament. Major League Soccer’s obsession with rivalries will see the league attempt to force animosity between the two clubs, despite them having never played each other. While this will be the first time these two clubs face off, it won’t be the first time the Lions play an opponent from South Florida.

Before Orlando City became a mainstay in Central Florida, South Florida had the MLS action. While Orlando was passed over by the league, both Miami and Tampa had teams in the country’s first division until 2001.
