ORLANDO: Brazilian playmaker Kaka, the 2007 world player of the year, has been appointed captain of Orlando City when the new club makes its Major League Soccer debut next week.
The team announced Tuesday that Kaka will take on the role when Orlando plays host to fellow MLS expansion newcomer New York City FC on March 8 at the Citrus Bowl.
"Kaka has demonstrated great leadership both on the field and in the locker room since the start, and the other players have naturally looked to his guidance throughout pre-season, so he was the natural pick to skipper the club," Orlando coach Adrian Heath said.
