Orlando City SC HubOrlando City SC has officially signed Antoine Griezmann after his exit from Atletico Madrid. The 35-year-old forward agreed to an initial contract until the end of the 2027-28 campaign, with the option to extend for a further year.
What happened?
Griezmann's move to the MLS was announced in March, and he is expected to take part in his first training session with Orlando next Monday. The team's first game after the World Cup break is on July 22 against Western Conference high-flyers San Jose Earthquakes.
Why it matters for Orlando City SC
The signing of Griezmann is a significant boost to Orlando City SC, who have endured an underwhelming start to their MLS campaign. The team is currently sitting 12th in the Eastern Conference after 15 matches, and has conceded more goals than any other team in the league.
What comes next?
Orlando City SC will be hoping Griezmann's experience will help kickstart their season. The team's next fixture is against Real Salt Lake at home on 2026-08-22. Currently, the team has several players sidelined, including F. Loyola, D. McGuire, and Y. Tsukada.
