The Great Florida MLS Census: A Tale of Two Teams
Here's the big reveal, folks: Florida boasts two MLS teams. That's right, two! Not a soccer smorgasbord, but enough to keep your weekend boredom at bay with a healthy dose of on-field drama (and hopefully some fancy footwork).
Tip: Keep scrolling — each part adds context.
Now, before you start planning a statewide MLS pub crawl (though that's not a bad idea...), let's meet the contenders:
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
- Inter Miami CF: This relatively young team (established in 2020) brings a touch of South Florida flair to the pitch. Just imagine the halftime entertainment – flamingos with tiny soccer balls anyone?
- Orlando City SC: These guys have been around since 2015, so they have a bit more experience under their belts. They also boast a passionate fanbase, so get ready for a lively atmosphere if you catch a home game.
So there you have it – two MLS teams keeping the beautiful game alive in Florida. Not a bad showing for a state that might be better known for oranges and alligators.
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.

Okay, so maybe this isn't the most fun fact, but Florida actually used to have two other MLS teams – the Tampa Bay Mutiny and the Miami Fusion. Unfortunately, they both folded in the early 2000s. Let's just say it wasn't their finest hour for Florida soccer. But hey, at least they tried, right?
Tip: Each paragraph has one main idea — find it.
