Orlando: 'The City Beautiful'
Orlando is a city in the United States of America and the capital of Orange County, Florida. An estimate about five years ago suggested that it is the fourth largest city in Florida.
It is, moreover, head of the Orlando-Kissimee Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).
The city's most common nickname is "The City Beautiful" and its symbol is the Lake Eola fountain.
A sporting city
Like several U.S. cities, Orlando boasts numerous professional teams across a wide variety of sports.
Basketball
First and foremost, the city is the home of the Orlando Magic, an NBA franchise that played at Amway Arena until 2010. Opened in 1989, Amway Arena was one of the oldest in the NBA and was replaced in 2010 by the new Amway Center.
American Football
The Citrus Bowl - now Camping World Stadium - regularly hosts American football championship games, while the Capital One Bowl is the site of an annual collegiate football game. At Camping World Stadium, as mentioned, Juve will play their third and final friendly of their tour against Real Madrid.
Ice Hocky
During the 1990s Orlando was home to the Orlando Solar Bears, an ice hockey team that played in the then International Hockey League.
WWE
Orlando, over time, has become the city of WWE. In fact, although the company's headquarters is in Stamford, Connecticut, the Florida city is home to the WWE Performance Center, which is the most state-of-the-art Professional Wrestling-related training facility on the planet. New WWE prospects are trained there, and it is for this reason that most WWE-related wrestlers have residences in Orlando and, more generally, in Florida.
Football
In soccer, Orlando are represented in MLS - highest American league - by Orlando City SC.
