Biography at a glance: The Orlando Sharks originated in 2007 as a participant in the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL), calling Orlando home. The team’s home arena, Amway Arena, offered an intimate setting for indoor soccer fans with a capacity of nearly 16,000. The Sharks’ inaugural game took place in November 2007 with Jake Dancy serving as head coach. Despite a challenging 2007-08 season (finishing 9th with a 4-26 record and average attendance around 1,789 per home date), the team contributed to the local sports narrative and fostered a community of dedicated supporters. Financial realities and scheduling constraints ultimately led to the 2008-09 MISL/NISL season being planned but sidelined for the Sharks, who were replaced by the Twisters in the arena timeline.
