ORLANDO, Fla. – Feb. 3, 2016 – The Orlando Pride National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) team is proud to announce its first Recognized Supporter Club, The Crown, leading up to its inaugural 2016 campaign.



“We’re thrilled to welcome The Crown to the Orlando City family,” said CEO Alex Leitão. “Our Club supporters have been instrumental in helping create an incredible match day experience on the MLS side, and we look forward to seeing that same passion and loyalty for Orlando Pride.”
