To our Orlando Pride family,

On behalf of the entire Orlando Pride leadership team, happy Opening Week! There has never been a more exciting time to be an Orlando Pride fan, and we are so happy to have you all supporting our team as we embark on the season ahead.

As you know, the Pride are set to begin their 2024 season this Saturday, traveling to face Racing Louisville at 4 p.m. ET before returning to Orlando to host Angel City FC on March 22 in front of you – the best fans in the league – at INTER&Co Stadium.

This has been a landmark offseason for our Club, both on the field and off, and we are excited for you to experience the many improvements and enhancements we have made to our home venue, our fan experience and our roster of talented players.

Our goal as an ownership group has always been to set the bar and create a best-in-class experience for both our fans and our players. We believe the NWSL is the best women’s soccer league in the world, and we are honored to have the privilege to make Orlando Pride the best club in the world.  

Just days ago, we announced the signing of one of the most promising and talented players in the global game – Barbra Banda. Barbra’s signing joins a wave of marquee acquisitions within the NWSL this offseason, and we are proud that our club is part of raising the standards and talent pool within the NWSL. The offseason also saw big moves in adding Brazilians Luana and Angelina, and two-time Women’s World Cup winner, Morgan Gautrat. The new Pride faces join a roster that totaled 10 wins last season, while also locking in players like Kylie Strom, Emily Madril, Kerry Abello and Haley McCutcheon to new, extended contracts. This group is joining superstar returners such as Marta, Rafaelle and Adriana.

We have also continued to invest heavily in the support staff, with more additions to our scouting and analytics team, while also providing training facility upgrades and new equipment for our sports performance side. With this group, led by General Manager Haley Carter and Head Coach Seb Hines, I am confident we are on the path to bringing the first NWSL Championship to the City Beautiful.

Off the field, you will notice our incredible downtown venue has a new name: INTER&Co Stadium! We are thrilled with the opportunities this long-term partnership with Inter&Co will provide, and you will immediately see the upgrades and reap the benefits of these investments during your next visit to a Pride game, including:

  • Over 5 million new LED pixels to the venue
  • A new videoboard with state-of-the-art technology
  • A new, 16’x9’ West Club video wall
  • Over 230 new TVs throughout the stadium, including additions in the concourse and concession stands.
  • Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology added to the Den, so you can spend less time in lines while shopping for your newly-unveiled Orlando Pride kits!

Other upgrades include:

  • Enhanced stadium internet access to Wi-Fi 6 and 6E
  • Added 5G antennas for increased cell service at INTER&Co Stadium
  • Concourse activations like our new selfie station, “The Vault” and a soon-to-be unveiled Jersey History Experience presented by Orlando Health

Lastly, we have continued to upgrade Season Ticket Member benefits as we head into the 2024 season. In case you missed it, Season Ticket Members will now enjoy 20% off their food and beverage at Orlando Pride matches, up from 15% in 2023. We also are now, for the first time, offering all Season Ticket Members the opportunity to receive complimentary tickets to an away Pride match so you can support us at home and on the road! If you still need your tickets, you can find out about our options here, and be sure to check out the many theme nights we are hosting in 2024! We are excited for you to see all that the Pride has to offer this season. We hope to see you on March 22 and at many games this season.

VamosPride!
