“We are extremely proud to have been selected to host the 2019 MLS All-Star Game and all of the events that make an All-Star week,” – said Orlando City SC chairman and majority owner Flavio Augusto da Silva. “This gives us another significant opportunity to welcome national and international soccer to Central Florida, and we couldn’t be prouder of our fans for embracing our club and creating the passionate atmosphere that is giving us the opportunity to bring this event to Orlando City Stadium.“
This, however, won’t be the first time MLS All-Star Game is being held in Orlando. The first time MLS All-Star team had the opportunity to play in this city was in 1998 when they faced league stars from the rest of the world at Citrus Bowl and got a 6-1 win.
