Orlando City SC News Release
ORLANDO, Fla. – Today, Orlando City SC and Orlando Pride announced the creation of “Legends’ Terrace”, a permanent display at INTER&Co Stadium that will honor those who have made a lasting impact in the two clubs’ history.
As part of the Lions’ 10th season in Major League Soccer, Orlando City will honor Brazilian icon and the team’s first captain, Kaká, as the first-ever Legends’ Terrace inductee. The 2002 FIFA World Cup winner and 2007 Ballon d’Or winner will be celebrated at Legends Night: Kaká , a newly-announced theme night for the Lions’ match against D.C. United on July 6, with the legend inducted in front of the fans in a post-game ceremony. The match will be presented by financial super app Inter&Co, which also holds the naming rights to the downtown Orlando stadium.
“Long before our family became stewards of this great club, there were many who laid the foundation and built Orlando City to become what it is today. In unveiling this new addition to INTER&Co Stadium and celebrating our 10 years in Major League Soccer this season, there was no one more deserving than Kaká to be the first-ever inductee into our Legends’ Terrace,” said Club Chairman Mark Wilf. “Kaká’s impact on the game, not just here in the City Beautiful but throughout the global soccer landscape, is one that will be felt for a very long time, and we are proud to permanently recognize his contributions and legacy as an Orlando City Lion. We look forward to celebrating him alongside our fans on July 6.”
Legends Night: Kaká will take place 10 years and five days from when Kaká was announced as the team’s first Designated Player in front of a record-breaking crowd at downtown Orlando’s Wall Street Plaza on July 1, 2014. From Fan Zone to the end of the match, the evening will celebrate the Brazilian and his lasting impact on Orlando City and the greater Orlando community.
“I want to thank Orlando City SC for this incredible honor of being the first-ever inductee into the Legends’ Terrace. My time with the club was filled with unforgettable moments and immense pride, both on and off the field,” said Kaká. “The love and support from the fans, ownership, my teammates, staff, and the entire Orlando community have left a lasting impact on me. This recognition is a testament to our shared journey, and I am truly grateful to be part of the Orlando City and MLS family forever.”
