ORLANDO - December 2, 2014 - Orlando City Soccer Club Founder and President Phil Rawlins has been elected into the USL PRO Hall of Fame, placing his name alongside 100 of the most influential figures in American soccer.
Rawlins will join the USL Men's Hall of Fame in the Builder category, and will be formally inducted at the USL Hall of Fame Banquet on Friday, December 12, 2014.
"I'm proud to be a part of the growth and development of USL PRO," said Rawlins. "It's an honor to be inducted into the Hall of Fame as USL PRO was an important part of our Club's history."
Since its inception, Rawlins has led Orlando City to incredible success - earning several accolades both on and off the field. In four seasons in USL PRO, the Lions won three regular-season titles and two USL PRO Championships.
