L'Orlando Pride a battu Washington Spirit sur le score de 1-0 samedi soir au CPKC Stadium pour remporter le championnat NWSL 2024, le premier de l'histoire de l'équipe. Le Pride termine la saison 2024 en tant que vainqueur du NWSL Shield et champion de la NWSL 2024, la première fois depuis 2019 qu'une équipe réalise le doublé, et devient la première équipe de sport professionnel d'Orlando à remporter un trophée de ligue majeure. Cette victoire couronne une saison de conte de fées pour le Pride, qui a battu le record de la ligue pour le plus grand nombre de points en une saison (60), le plus grand nombre de victoires en une saison (18) et le plus grand nombre de clean sheets en une saison (13). Le Pride a également terminé la saison 2024 invaincu à domicile avec un bilan de 10-0-3 pendant la saison régulière ainsi que des victoires à l'Inter&Co Stadium lors des quarts de finale et des demi-finales. 

Orlando Pride defeated Washington Spirit by a 1–0 scoreline on Saturday night at CPKC Stadium to win the 2024 NWSL Championship, the first in team history. The Pride finish the 2024 season as the NWSL Shield Winners and the 2024 NWSL Champions, the first time since 2019 a team completed the double, and become the first professional sports team from Orlando to win a major league trophy. The win caps off a storybook season for the Pride, who broke the league record for most points in a season (60), most wins in a season (18) and most clean sheets in a season (13). The Pride also finished the 2024 season unbeaten at home with a record of 10-0-3 during the regular season along with victories at Inter&Co Stadium in the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds. The Pride were also riddled in End-Of-Year NWSL Award winners, including Seb Hines as NWSL Coach of the Year, Emily Sams as Defender of the Year and five Best XI winners including Sams, Marta, Barbra Banda, Anna Moorhouse and Kerry Abello.

The Pride were backed by a goal from Barbra Banda, who scored her fourth goal of the NWSL Playoffs, and was named MVP of the playoffs. The four goals are the most scored in an NWSL Playoff in league history, while the team’s eight goals across postseason tie an NWSL record. Angelina provided the assist on the Banda finish, becoming the first international player to record an assist in the NWSL Final. The Pride earned another clean sheet, their 14th of the season, behind five saves from goalkeeper Moorhouse as well as some stellar performances from the Pride backline in rookie Cori Dyke, Abello, Kylie Strom and Sams.
