Orlando's list of Star players not only begin but also end with Brazilian attacker KAKA.Former World Player of the Year will be an massive figure to look upon this season.Kaka arrives into the squad at San Sario after leaving Italian Club AC Milan.Kaka still have enough in his legs as 32 year-old will be one of the most dangerous player in the league.Their are no other players in the Orlando's who can match Kaka's international fame, but they have a few high quality MLS fame, defenders Amobi Okugo and Aurelien Collin will play an important role at Orlando's defence.
In their first season an American Football Stadium will be used as their home as they search a dedicated soccer venue to be built as their home in the city. The Citrus Bowl has 65,000 seats which could prove difficult for the fams to provide an good and energetic atmosphere. The club reports that all the 65000 seats are been sold out for the opener against New York City FC.In 2016 the team will move to a new unnamed stadium in downtown Orlando. In April 2013, the city of Orlando purchased downtown land for $8.2 million to be used towereds the construction of a $110 million MLS soccer stadium .
