Orlando City is just hours away from bringing MLS back to fans across America, as the Lions face off against new neighbors Inter Miami CF on Wednesday night in the first MLS Florida derby in 19 years.
City have spent the past week inside the MLS bubble at the Walt Disney World Resort, training diligently for the opening game. Team captain Luis Nani, set to return to the pitch for the first time in over nine months, spoke about the challenge in front of his side.
“My goal is...to show the quality of my football, of my physical condition, and show that I’m ready to compete again and help my team achieve our goals,” Nani said in an MLS press conference on Monday.
