Orlando City SC have announced an international friendly with Italian club AS Roma.
The MLS expansion franchise will host the Giallorossi at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex on Friday, May 23 in what will be the second meeting between the two clubs.
Roma, who in 2012 signed a six-year deal with Walt Disney World to train at the venue annually, travelled to Winter Park in Florida in January last year to beat the reigning USL PRO champs 5-0.
Lions president Phil Rawlins said it was another great opportunity for his club to gain notoriety on the world stage as they prepare to enter MLS play in 2015.
"AS Roma are one of the top clubs in the world and we are delighted to have them back in Florida again," said Rawlins said in a statement.
"I know our fans will enjoy seeing The Lions take on a world class team like Roma."
