Just 12 hours after first landing in Orlando, Dom Dwyer was out at Orlando City Stadium, checking out his new home. Dwyer, who joined the club yesterday for an MLS record fee, was all smiles today as he toured the stadium, spoke to the media and even put his mark on the players’ tunnel.
As the press conference opened up, CEO Alex Leitão spoke on just how difficult it was to get Dwyer to Orlando. “I’ve been [involved] in the process of acquiring a franchise, and this was much more complicated, honestly, because it’s something that never happened between two clubs in the league,” Leitão said.
