This weekend marks the Major League Soccer debut of the Orlando City Soccer Club and the Walt Disney World Resort has announced that it is a founding sponsor of the soccer club.
This new deal means that Walt Disney World Resort is now the team’s official theme park and resort destination.
Disney Cruise Line is the team’s official cruise line, and Disney Vacation Club is the official vacation club for the team.
Orlando City’s debut this weekend at the Citrus Bowl will feature a strong presence from Walt Disney World Resort and this will continue at all of the team’s home games.
The team will be playing at a new downtown stadium beginning in 2016.
Disney also plans to collaborate with Orlando City on new soccer events at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
