Orlando City ranks high in Google’s trending soccer teams of 2015
We know we love them, but apparently a lot of people around the country love Orlando City Soccer Club, too.
The soccer club is ranked No. 2 in Google’s Year in Search of Top 10 Trending Soccer Teams of 2015 in the United States, trailing only FC Barcelona. The only Major League Soccer team in the top 10, Orlando City was ranked ahead of such high-profile clubs as Arsenal FC, Manchester United, Real Madrid and several others.
“This is one of the proudest moments for our front office staff, technical team, players and fans,” said club President and founder Phil Rawlins. “It’s a testament to the hard work we’ve all done to elevate this team and capture the hearts of a growing global fan base, and I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of our soccer community.”
There were several moments in 2015 that kept the Lions trending online this year, such as the #FillTheBowl marketing campaign that motivated 62,500 fans to sell out the club’s inaugural MLS match at the Orlando Citrus Bowl, as well as team captain Kaka’s late goal that brought the bowl to its feet in the 90 th minute of the NYCFC match.
The full list of teams that made Google’s Top 10 Trending Soccer Teams included: FC Barcelona, Orlando City SC, Arsenal FC, Manchester United FC, Chelsea FC, Real Madrid CF, Boca Juniors, Corinthians, Chivas and AC Milan.
The top “trending” teams are the searches that had the highest spike in traffic over a sustained period in 2015 as compared to 2014.
