It’s perhaps the biggest move in Orlando Pride’s history. Which is saying something after the club moved for Alex Morgan before last year’s NWSL campaign. Five-time FIFA World Player of the Year, Marta, signed for the Orlando Pride on Friday.
The midfielder is not a stranger to playing in the Untied States, she previously played for the Los Angeles Sol, FC Gold Pride and the Western New York Flash. She will be on a two-year contract with the option for a third year.
More recently, Marta has been in Sweden playing for FC Rosengard in the women’s first division.
