ESPN published an article by soccer writer Jeff Carlisle last week that took a look at MLS reserve teams as the USL readies to launch its new third division league in 2019. Carlisle spoke with Orlando City General Manager Niki Budalic for the piece, which unveiled the club’s development plans moving forward.
In the story, Budalic told Carlisle that Orlando City B, which played the 2016 and 2017 seasons in the USL before going on hiatus for this season, would return in 2019 in the new USL third division.
The form that the development pipeline takes for a team remains fluid.
