Orlando has been a fortress for the USMNT, boasting a record of 7 wins, 2 draws, and 0 losses in the city.

The match will draw visitors to our region, fill Camping World Stadium, and generate substantial local economic benefits. Orlando continues to establish itself as a premier sports destination in the U.S.”
The match against El Salvador in March 2023, where the USMNT secured a place in the Concacaf Nations League Finals, and the crucial World Cup qualifying match against Panama in March 2022, are recent highlights of the team’s successful appearances in Orlando.
U.S. Soccer Chief Commercial Officer David Wright expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration with Florida Citrus Sports, stating, “Camping World Stadium is the perfect venue for this marquee event, showcasing the destination to a global audience.”
