Hi everyone!

We shared a look at Downtown Disney progress in an article a couple of days ago, including a photo of the United World of Soccer with a new storefront. It had been where Super Hero Headquarters is now before moving to a temporary location near Cirque du Soleil. It now is back close to its former location. Keep reading for the press release!

Lake Buena Vista, Fla. – July 28, 2015 — United World Soccer, “The World’s Greatest Soccer Store,” celebrated the grand opening of its new store in Downtown Disney today.

United World Soccer becomes the newest venue at Downtown Disney West Side. Downtown Disney is currently undergoing the largest expansion in its history, to be renamed and re-imagined as Disney Springs, an exciting new waterfront district for shopping, dining and entertainment. Completion of Disney Springs is planned for 2016.

United World Soccer specializes in jerseys from clubs and countries from around the world, footwear, soccer balls, accessories and more. A unique, in-store feature for guests is the ability to add their favorite player’s name and number  —  such as Ronaldo, Messi and Kaká — or their own name and favorite number to a jersey.

With the introduction of Orlando’s new MLS team, Orlando City Soccer Club, soccer fever has taken over Central Florida. United World Soccer, as the club’s Official Soccer Specialty Store, carries a wide range of Orlando City gear. 

“Soccer is the world’s most popular sport,” said United World Soccer’s Director of Sales and Marketing, Luke Davis, “and we’re excited to continue sharing our love for the game with the local community and Disney’s guests from around the globe.”
