After reaching the MLS Cup Playoffs for the second successive campaign, expectations have risen at Orlando City SC since head coach Oscar Pareja was appointed back in December 2019.
In 2021, the world got back to normal after the COVID-19 pandemic and Orlando City SC dug deep to bring many joyful moments to their loyal supporters. Although 2021 ended in disappointment, our latest public vote recognises the standout players in the Lions’ 2021 season.
End-of-season awards ceremonies are commonplace in British football circles and like last year, we’re asking #OCTwitter to select their Orlando City SC Player of the Year, Young Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year for 2021.
How to vote
With voting now open, all votes will be cast via our Orlando City UK Twitter page with voting closing on Tuesday, November 30th at 5pm (UK time) / 12pm (US ET time) and winners being announced shortly after.
To cast your votes, click on the tweets embedded beneath each of our three award categories below. You can vote once per category per Twitter account.
