From golazos to game-winners, the 2024 regular season and post season was filled with a whole lot of goals 😮‍💨

One week ago, we celebrated Marta, Barbra Banda and the entire @OrlPride team bringing home the first pro major league trophy in our city's history. What makes it even more impressive is that the @NWSL is the top women's soccer league in the entire world.

The best team in @NWSL history certainly deserves a big celebration. I loved how our community painted downtown purple today for a parade and ceremony to honor our champions, the @ORLPride.

On a similar theme of leadership setting the standards for a successful culture, @ORLPride’s 🟣#NWSLChampionship success is largely down to the reboot provided by GM @H_C_Carter. Everyone raves about her and then I met her and understood why. Again, people first mentality, the right coaches @seb_38, @GilesBarnesReal @YoKnows99 etc and the right combination of character/players. Talent, work ethic etc. Players clearly want to play/stay there now and the rewards are there for all to see 🏆

The @ORLPride are heading to the NWSL Championship! Susie and I have loved watching this team play all season long, especially during today’s thrilling semifinal win. We can’t wait to watch them make more history on Saturday night.

The @OrlPride have had a record-setting season. Now they're setting their sights on the NWSL Championship. Let's continue our community's support for the Pride Friday night, when they host the first home playoff match in club history.

A feature on the Orlando Pride, once the "butt of many jokes" and plagued by instability, now NWSL history-makers. They overhauled their culture, not their roster, to fuel a remarkable turnaround. Oh, and they called their shot at a preseason meeting: sports.yahoo.com/how-the-orl…
