Orlando Pride 2024 soccer season
The 2024 Orlando Pride season is Orlando Pride 's ninth season in the National Women's Soccer League , the top division of women's soccer in the United States .
Notable events [ edit ] Two new expansion franchises, Bay FC and Utah Royals , joined the NWSL in 2024. Orlando traded for full protection from both teams in the 2024 NWSL Expansion Draft and therefore had no players selected.[1] [2]
After four-and-a-half seasons under the Exploria sponsorship name, Orlando City's home stadium was rebranded as Inter&Co Stadium ahead of the 2024 season.[3]
Ahead of the 2024 season it was announced that after four seasons as a league cup competition, the NWSL Challenge Cup would become a super cup between the previous season's NWSL Shield (regular season) and NWSL Championship (post season) winners. As a result, Orlando Pride did not participate in the 2024 Challenge Cup.[4] Summer Cup , a similar style tournament including Liga MX Femenil teams.
