The Orlando City Lions will go up against the Richmond Kickers on September 6 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando. Richmond Vs Orlando City Lions tickets are now available for this game, which will mark the end of the City Lions' USL-Pro run, so it's a must-see for all the avid soccer fanatics.
Orlando City Lions have moved up through the tiers of the American soccer pyramid. They have been playing for the United Soccer League's Professional division - USL Pro. They were added to USL Pro as an expansion team and were recently announced as Major League Soccer's latest expansion team. They will start play in MLS in 2015. The game on September 6 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex is the regular season's final game for Orlando City Lions and is sure to be quite a game. Both teams have played well in the past, and the City Lions have been at the top in the USL-Pro division's standings with 39 points, followed up by none other than the Richmond Kickers with 30 points!
The City Lions' popularity has been soaring with their spectacular hold-up against Brazil's Sau Paulo FC. They played against Sau Paulo on June 20 and kept the score nil for both, coming out with a draw. Another very exciting event for the Orlando City Lions in the future is them potentially welcoming Ricardo Kaka aboard! The current forward for A.C. Milan is in advanced talks with the Lions' team, and they are optimistic that he might just be joining the City Lions for their Major League Soccer season, starting in 2015. The Lions started up in 2010, and have had a very strong few years. After opening their first season in April 2011, they finished at the top of the American Division with 51 points and scored the USL Pro Regular Season title. They were also crowned USL Pro Champions of 2011. They won their second championship in just three years, in 2013. They have won the most championships in USL-Pro, as well as most Supporters' Shields.
The Richmond Kickers are no pushovers either. They won the Regular Season title in 2006, 2007 and 2013 in the USL-Pro and finished fourth in 2012. They won the Playoffs in 2006 and 2009. They are one of the oldest professional soccer clubs that are in continuous operation in the United States.
Richmond Vs City Lions tickets are a definite must-see game for September for all the soccer fans out there. Not only fans will get to see the City Lions playing in the USL-Pro for the last time, it is also sure to be an extremely intense match that will decide the season's champion. Looking at the track-record, it could be either one of the teams' game; the Orlando City Lions are USL-Pro's star team, and the Richmond Kickers have been around longer and quite consistent. So make sure to come and root for your favorites!
