Orlando City II

Osceola County Stadium sits inside the Osceola Heritage Park training complex in Kissimmee.

Announced in June 2015 and playing its first season in 2016 as Orlando City B, the team has sent a stream of academy graduates into the first team and beyond: Pierre da Silva broke through first, in 2016, followed over the years by Thomas Roche, Micah Ambrose, Justin Ellis, Javier Otero, Thire Reid-Brown, Zakaria Taifi and Colin Guske.

None of that development work has yet produced a trophy. The club has never won a title in MLS Next Pro, USL League One or USL Championship; the closest it has come is back-to-back quarter-final runs in the Next Pro play-offs, in 2023 and 2024. Orlando City SC's own USL Pro championships, from 2011 and 2013, belong to the first team and sit outside this side's own record.

What the fixture list does offer is the Florida Derby, against Inter Miami CF II — the reserve-team echo of the rivalry between the state's two MLS clubs, played out on a smaller stage but carrying the same geography.

That smaller stage remains Osceola County Stadium, tucked into the heritage park in Kissimmee, where the crowd is modest and the point of the exercise lies elsewhere.
