ORLANDO, Fla. — The United Football League (UFL) has announced the launch of a new franchise in Orlando called the “Orlando Storm.”
The league is making an effort to play their games at intimate soccer venues in their upcoming seasons. The Orlando Storm will play their home games at Inter&Co Stadium, home of the Orlando Pride (NWSL) and Orlando City (MLS).
Co-owner of the UFL Mike Repole said having the @UFLStorm play at Inter&Co Stadium is a game-changer.
