History

The creation of a new professional football club was announced in April 2018. Orlando became the first city to announce the creation of a team in which the AAF leadership announced. At the same time, Steve Sperrier , who has experience working at the Washington Redskins NFL , was appointed the head coach of the club under the working title of Alliance Orlando. Prior to that, two professional teams were based in the city - “ Orlando Predators ” performed in the AFL from 1991 to 2016, and in 2001, the XFL Orlando Rage team held one season [1] .

The presentation of the name and symbols of the club took place in September 2018. The team, named Apollos, entered the Eastern League Division, along with Birmingham , Memphis and Atlanta . League founder Charlie Ebersol explained that the name of the club is a reference to the ancient Greek god of light Apollo , because Florida is one of the sunniest states, and pays tribute to the memory of the flight of the Apollo 11 mission [2] [3] .

In accordance with the rules of the league, the club has the priority right to sign contracts with players acting in the NFL for Miami Dolphins , Tampa Bay Buccaneers , New York Jets and New York Giants , CFL players from Hamilton Tiger Cats , as well as graduates of thirteen Florida state colleges [4] .

Season 2019

The schedule for the first league season was announced in October 2018. “Orlando” will play in the first match in the history of the tournament, which will be held on February 9 at the Spectrum Stadium. Rival "Apollos" will be " Atlanta Legends " [5] .
