The annual Florida Cup is two months away, and this year Orlando City Stadium is among the Central Florida venues hosting matches.

The Jan. 10-20 international soccer tournament will kick off with two matches at the new, soccer-specific stadium that is home to all three professional teams under the Orlando City SC umbrella. Brazil’s SC Corinthians will play Dutch club PSV Eindhoven on the first day of competition, followed by Atlético Mineiro, also from Brazil, against the United Kingdom’s Rangers FC on Jan. 11.

Four matches will be held at UCF’s Spectrum Stadium and both Al Lang Stadium in St. Petersburg and Central Broward Stadium in Lauderhill will host a game.

“As the Florida Cup has grown in participation and popularity, so has caliber of facilities that host these games,” Florida Cup CEO Ricardo Villar said. “It will be a great experience for fans and players.”

The official Adidas 2018 World Cup game ball also will debut at the Florida Cup.

Tickets for the Orlando City Stadium games go on sale Thursday at www.floridacup.com. Tickets to all other matches are on sale now for a discounted price until Nov.30.

Family packs of five tickets for the price of four also are available, and travel packages can be purchased at kaluahtours.com.

This year, the tournament welcomes three European clubs and five from South America. Each club will play two matches in a points format — three points for a win, one point for a tie and an additional point for a victory on penalty kicks — to determine the 2018 Florida Cup champion.

"What’s different about this year is we have the first U.K. participant, we also have the first team from Holland,” Villar said. “We have a team from Poland, who has a lot of fans apparently in Chicago who are coming down for it.”

The event will also again feature a Fan Fest with games and activities almost every day, including driving with Formula 1 drivers, golf challenges and an All-Star game.
