ORLANDO CITY SC | EXPLORIA STADIUM
The announcement marks the first sponsorship of the three-year-old stadium.
Leitão emphasized it took time to find the right partner. “We were looking for the perfect
partner and we didn’t have to rush,” Leitão said following the announcement. “This was
the moment the right partner came, so we decided to do the deal.”
“If you look at the demographics of our
owners and you look at the demographics
of the soccer fan, particularly MLS and
here in Orlando, it was the perfect fit.”

Leitão said that the club had spoken to “a couple of companies” over the past few
years but wanted a local partnership. “The same way that we have Orlando Health with
us, we felt since the beginning that we have a company that is based in Orlando, they
want to grow with us, they understand the city is international.”
