ORLANDO, Fla. , Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Known as a world-class destination for fun, Orlando is quickly establishing itself as one of the top sports hubs in the U.
S., featuring major events not to be missed in 2025. The action-packed season includes three premier college football bowl games: the StaffDNA Cure Bowl, Pop-Tarts Bowl and Cheez-It Citrus Bowl, all in December.
All-star contests highlight early 2025, with the collegiate Hula Bowl leading up to the highly anticipated 2025 NFL Pro Bowl Games in February. Orlando also welcomes global soccer fans in 2025, as the FC Series will bring international soccer clubs from Brazil to the destination in January for exciting exhibition matches. That is a teaser for the summer, when Orlando hosts the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup competition at INTER&Co Stadium and Camping World Stadium.
" Orlando continues to deliver thrilling experiences for all visitors, especially sports fans who can come for the game and stay for the destination's unique mix of world-famous theme parks, outdoor adventures, award-winning dining and rich cultural experiences," said Casandra Matej , president and CEO of Visit Orlando.
