Two more matches. Orlando City SC captain Kaká will play his last home MLS match for the Lions this Sunday after the Brazilian announced on Wednesday that he will not return in 2018. He will also play in the Fuerza Puerto Rico Friendly on November 4th to raise funds for hurricane relief.
On September 27, Kaká scored two goals in a historic 6-1 win at Orlando City Stadium. The Lions dominated New England that evening, and Kaká received a standing ovation from Orlando City fans as he walked off the pitch. The Fortress has witnessed some incredible moments in 2017 - that performance was up there with the best.
Kaká will make his 75th MLS appearance for Orlando City on Sunday. The Brazilian legend played his first match for the Lions three years ago and scored a goal that will be etched into Orlando history.
Kaká enters his final match for the Lions with 24 goals and 22 assists during his MLS career. When the ball is on Kaká’s foot, magic happens.
5,868 minutes played in MLS. Kaká gave everything he had each time he suited up in Orlando City colors; his determination, competitiveness and at times supernatural talent on full display.

It’s difficult to measure Kaká’s lasting impact on soccer in the City of Orlando. His class - both on and off the field - will never be forgotten. It was honor for all of us to watch a true legend of the sport. What he has done, for this Club, this league and the passionate fans in Orlando, will live forever.
