Last week, Orlando City announced that its developmental team, Orlando City B, would play its 2020 USL League One season at Osceola County Stadium in Kissimmee, FL. Considering that the team only played at its 2019 location for one season, this might have surprised some people. However, this move makes sense given the purpose and makeup of the side.
OCB was launched in 2015 and played its first season in 2016. The first two seasons of the team’s history were to provide playing time for first team players that were not receiving minutes. The only player on that team that came out of the academy, and was not on an academy contract, was midfielder Pierre Da Silva.
