The U-23 team, which was founded all the way back in 1998, has ceased operations following the launch of USL side Orlando City B. What does that mean for the club?
With two new soccer teams coming to the Central Florida area in the forms of Orlando City B and the Orlando Pride, one long-standing team is closing up shop. After almost 20 years in operation and three different name changes, the Orlando City PDL squad, a.k.a. the Orlando City U-23 team, has officially shut down.
The team was founded back in 1998 as the Central Florida Lionhearts, but changed its name the next year to the Central Florida Kraze.
