Orlando is ready to shine on the world stage with upcoming Club World Cup

This summer the city will be hosting six soccer matches in the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup, with matches to be played at Camping World Stadium and Inter&Co Stadium.

The FIFA Club World Cup trophy recently made its debut at the home of Orlando City SC and Orlando Pride, which will be one of two venues in Orlando to host matches in the upcoming tournament this June.

The soccer-specific stadium will host four teams across two matches: South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns F.C. vs. South Korea's Ulsan HD FC and Portugal's SL Benfica vs. Australia's Auckland City FC. The neighbors to the south, Camping World Stadium, will host three matches, including a Round of 16 match later in the month.

It's worth noting that the City of Orlando will be the only host city with two separate venues for the upcoming tournament.

From the perspective of Inter&Co Stadium, bringing in a top-tier tournament like the Club World Cup to help showcase the stadium on the world's stage is an opportunity of a lifetime. Orlando City's Chief Operating Officer and General Council, Cesar Lopez, said on Wednesday, "We have a soccer-specific stadium downtown, wonderful environment, unbelievable passion from our fans, and we're giving them good soccer product. We really want to make sure that ours is a venue that is exposed to the world stage. The excitement that we have with this entire group, and the community is coming together, it's an unbelievable opportunity to show why we're still the number one city in America for sports."

The biggest part of the undertaking for both venues is involving nearly every sports and tourism entity in Orlando to work hand in hand to help this massive project come to fruition.

Leadership from all surrounding counties, Orlando City and Pride, Florida Citrus Sports, Visit Orlando, Central Florida Hotel and Lodging and so many other individuals helped collaborate on this project.
