Historia [ editar ]

Después de la temporada 2015 de la NWSL , se rumoreaba que el grupo propietario de Orlando City SC agregaría un equipo de expansión a la liga profesional femenina. [3] El 20 de octubre de 2015, se llevó a cabo una conferencia de prensa en Lake Eola Park, donde Phil Rawlins dio a conocer el nombre, el logotipo y los colores del equipo. [4] El ex entrenador en jefe de la selección nacional de Australia y Estados Unidos, Tom Sermanni, fue anunciado como el primer entrenador en jefe del equipo. [5]

El 26 de octubre de 2015, el Orgullo anunció que habían realizado las primeras adquisiciones de jugadores en la historia del equipo; firmando al alero Alex Morgan y Kaylyn Kyle de Portland Thorns FC a cambio de las selecciones No. 1 del Orgullo en el Draft de Expansión NWSL 2015 y el Draft Universitario NWSL 2016 , así como un lugar en la lista internacional para las temporadas 2016 y 2017, y también adquirió a Sarah Hagen en un canje por separado con FC Kansas City junto con la selección de segunda ronda del draft de 2016 de Kansas City a cambio de la selección de segunda ronda del draft de 2017 del Pride. [6] Terminaron la temporada en el noveno lugar.

En 2017, el Orgullo se clasificó para los playoffs por primera vez en la historia de la franquicia, ya que terminaron la temporada regular en el tercer lugar con un récord de 11–7–6. Fueron al Portland Thorns FC para la semifinal, pero perdieron 4-1. La temporada también se destacó por el fichaje de la cinco veces Jugadora Mundial del Año de la FIFA e internacional brasileña Marta, que terminó la temporada como la segunda máxima goleadora de la liga con 13 goles.

Después de una decepcionante temporada 2018 en la que el Orgullo se perdió los playoffs al terminar en el séptimo lugar, el entrenador en jefe Tom Sermanni y el Orlando Pride se separaron mutuamente después de tres temporadas. Sermanni tuvo un récord de temporada regular de 25-29-14 durante su estadía en Orlando, con marca de 0-1-0 en los playoffs. [7]

En enero de 2019, Marc Skinner renunció a su papel en la FA WSL lado Birmingham a convertirse en el segundo entrenador vez del orgullo.

En mayo de 2019, se dieron a conocer los planes para construir una instalación de entrenamiento dedicada en Sylvan Lake Park, la primera instalación de entrenamiento en la NWSL que está diseñada y utilizada exclusivamente por un equipo de mujeres. The Pride planea terminar la temporada 2019 en sus instalaciones actuales ubicadas en Seminole Soccer Complex antes de mudarse al nuevo campo de entrenamiento de última generación antes del inicio de la temporada 2020.

Broadcasting[edit]

In 2016, games were broadcast locally on the Bright House Sports Network.[17] In April of the same year, a livestream of a Pride match simulcast on the Facebook page of Alex Morgan had a live audience of 489,999 during the first half.[18] It was the first professional sports broadcast on the social networking website.[19]

For the 2017 season, Orlando Pride games were streamed exclusively by Go90 for American audiences and via the NWSL website for international viewers.[20] As part of a three-year agreement with A&E Networks, Lifetime broadcasts one NWSL Game of the Week on Saturday afternoons.[21][22] The Pride were featured in the nationally televised Game of the Week on seven occasions.[23] The deal was mutually terminated a year early at the end of the 2018 season.[24]

In 2019, NWSL regular season matches were streamed on Yahoo! Sports for the domestic audience while international fans continued to have access to games for free via the NWSL app and at NWSLsoccer.com.[25] However, on July 4, 2019, NWSL announced it had signed a deal through the second half of the 2019 season with ESPN on the back of the USWNT's World Cup victory. The new deal meant ESPN would televise 11 regular season matches including two Pride games (July 14 and September 11) as well as every playoff game.[26] The sudden switch and lack of information surrounding the international broadcasts led to widespread confusion as ESPN's subscription service ESPN Player took control in Europe, Africa and parts of Asia while Canada's rights were acquired by TSN.[27]

For the 2020 season, the NWSL announced a three-year broadcast deal with CBS Sports and streaming service Twitch. In total, 87 NWSL matches will be shown across the main CBS network, CBS Sports Network, and CBS All Access live-streaming service with 14 of those games televised while Twitch will offer free coverage of 24 selected matches during the 2020 NWSL regular season. Twitch will also serve as the NWSL's exclusive international media rights partner outside the United States in 2020 with all 108 regular-season matches, the playoffs, and Championship available to global viewers.[28][29]
