This morning marked a historic day for the young Orlando Pride franchise, as the club officially welcomed five-time world player of the year Marta as the newest addition to the team. The Pride introduced the Brazilian to assembled Orlando media in a morning press conference at the Orlando Marriott Lake Mary.
“A very special day for our organization,” Pride CEO Alex Leitao said. “Today we bring in the greatest of all time to the Orlando Pride.”
