Avianca named Official International Airline Partner of Orlando City Soccer Club and Orlando Pride

Avianca will join the teams across their 32 home matches they will play this season, in both the men’s and women’s competitions.

Avianca is stepping into professional soccer as the official international airline partner of Orlando City Soccer Club of Major League Soccer (MLS) and Orlando Pride of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), the top professional leagues in the United States and Canada.

“We are proud to sponsor Orlando City of MLS and Orlando Pride in NWSL, two teams that reflect the strength of local and Latino talent. The United States, and especially Florida and Orlando, are key markets for Avianca. Last year alone, we carried 300,000 passengers to and from this city and operated nearly 2,000 flights. Today, we operate over 100 weekly flights in Florida and more than 400 across the United States. This partnership not only reinforces our commitment to strengthening Orlando’s connectivity, but also to supporting the power of sports in the communities we serve,” said Rolando Damas, Avianca’s Country Officer for the United States and Director of Sales for North America.

The teams currently feature nearly two dozen Latin American players and coaching staff from countries including Colombia, Argentina, Paraguay, Peru, Venezuela and Brazil. In addition, Inter&Co Stadium has a capacity of nearly 25,000 fans, and Orlando City and Orlando Pride will play a combined 32 regular season home matches this season. These figures reflect the significance of soccer for the city and its local and Latino communities.

With this sponsorship, Avianca strengthens its support for soccer at a continental level, as well as for various sports where it operates, recognizing them as powerful drivers of culture, passion and the shared experiences of millions of fans.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Avianca Airlines to our partner family,” said Kelly Hyne, Senior Vice President of Brand Alliances for Orlando City SC and Orlando Pride. “Their global reach and strong connection to Orlando’s international community make them an ideal partner. We look forward to creating memorable experiences for our fans both at Inter&Co Stadium and beyond.”

The partnership also underscores the company’s presence in the United States, where it currently operates more than 400 weekly flights from 14 cities, including Boston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, New York, Los Angeles, Orlando, Miami, Ontario, Chicago, San Francisco and Tampa, Washington and Las Vegas. From Florida alone, Avianca operates more than 100 weekly flights to Colombia, Ecuador and Central America, connecting customers to more than 80 destinations in 25 countries.
