The Florida Cup team will be pool-side at Lennar’s Oasis Club at ChampionsGate for broadcasts during the event. Leveraging this opportunity to reach such a wide-spread, international audience is part of Lennar’s strategic vision.
“We recognized how soccer and the 68 million visitors coming to Orlando each year was a way to expose our Resort Collection to a passionate and loyal soccer fan base,” says Brock Nicholas, president of Lennar’s Orlando division. He continues: “the Florida Cup matches are highly competitive, and the events are especially great for kids and family groups – our involvement resonates with our current and future Vacation Home customers, FL Cup has been a meaningful relationship for both our team and our business.”
