New York City FC Hosts Orlando City in Anniversary Match

New York City FC is set to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their inaugural MLS match against Orlando City SC during their home opener at Yankee Stadium. NYCFC aims to secure their first win of the 2025 season under new coach Pascal Jansen, having drawn their previous matches against Inter Miami and LAFC. Historically, NYCFC has an excellent record in home openers and a favorable recent head-to-head matchup against Orlando, who has not won in their last seven visits to New York. Orlando City, coming off a victory against Toronto FC, faces challenges playing at the uniquely sized Yankee Stadium. Key players for NYCFC include striker Alonso Martinez and midfielder Maxi Moralez, who has a strong scoring history against Orlando. Both teams are looking to capitalize on early-season momentum as they clash in this highly anticipated match.
