Orlando City SC

Unlike several other US stadiums, Exporia Stadium is a soccer-specific venue, and is host to Major League Soccer club Orlando City SC, as well as their National Women’s Soccer League affiliate club Orlando Pride.

The male side entered MLS as an expansion franchise in 2015, with the stadium complete in time for their 2017 season opener on March 5, with the hosts defeating New York City FC in front of a sell-out crowd. Originally known as Orlando City Stadium, it was renamed in June 2019 after timeshare entity Exploria Resorts acquired naming rights to the stadium. It was then renamed again in January 2024 to become known as the Inter&Co Stadium.

The venue has also been used to host matches for the men’s and women’s US national team, while outside of football it has hosted the 2019 Cure Bowl, and in the future will host the 2022 Special Olympics USA opening ceremony.

According to the club, the stadium was designed to create the most intimidating atmosphere in all of MLS, boasting a safe-standing supporter section and a low-slanted roofline to amplify crowd noise.

The Inter&Co Stadium Stadium offers 45-minute tours, which begin in the lobby located at gate D, on Glenn Ln between W Central Blvd and W Church St. Guests must enter gate D on Glenn Ln at the security gate, not on Church St. The tour comprises several iconic locations throughout the stadium, including the locker room, walkout tunnel, press box, The Wall, warmup seats and the owner’s suite.

Accessible parking is available in Lot A, where a hanging placard or accessible licence plate is required. The stadium also has wheelchair accessible and accessible seating tickets available, while braille signs are located throughout the venue. The stadium provides wheelchair escorts for guests, with accessible restrooms available at Sections 4, 13, 17, 21, 27, 33, and 37.

Orlando City’s and Orlando Pride’s membership program LionNation allows supporters access to exclusive experiences and special events, with recognised supporter groups Iron Lion Firm and The Ruckus also having certain privileges, including the use of flags and tifos, drums and instruments, and the use of controlled smoke.

The Wall is, however, the club’s most famous fan concept. It is a coalition of supporter groups aiming to promote Orlando City SC, specifically working to create the loudest and most passionate sporting experience in North American football.

New members who join for the 2021 MLS campaign can enjoy a 20% discount on single-game pricing. Aside from that, season tickets range from $236 for a place in Northeast Corner – 100 Level, all the way to $2,970 for West Club – Field Level. Several other ticket options are also available, and can be found here.

The Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando has been selected as one of the host stadiums for the 2025 Club World Cup. It is the first edition of the expanded version of the tournament and is set to take place in June and July 2024.

The stadium is one of two in Orlando to be selected as host venues for the tournament with the larger  Camping World Stadium also chosen. Orlando is the only city in the US that has multiple stadiums chosen as host venues.
