Orlando City SC and midfielder Dagur Dan Thórhallsson have solidified their partnership, agreeing to a new contract that will keep the Icelandic talent in the City Beautiful through 2026, with a Club option extending to 2027. This move signifies the club’s commitment to retaining key players and building a strong foundation for future success.
“Since Dagur has arrived at the Club, he has proven himself to be someone who is adaptive and versatile in all situations, showing a willingness to do whatever the team requires of him in any scenario,” said EVP of Soccer Operations and General Manager Luiz Muzzi. “His dedication to hard work and to his teammates is visible every day. He’s a consummate professional, both on and off the pitch, and we’re excited to have him representing our Club for the foreseeable future.”
Thórhallsson joined the Lions ahead of the 2023 season from Breiðablik UBK of the Icelandic Besta deild karla, Iceland’s top division. Since then, the 24-year-old midfielder has made 40 starts in 65 appearances across all competitions for the Club, tallying four goals and providing seven assists. His adaptability and consistency have made him an integral part of Orlando City’s squad.
“I am so happy to have extended my contract with this amazing club. Since I came to Orlando, it has felt like home and I will be forever grateful for the opportunity I have gotten to play for the best fans in the country,” Thórhallsson said. “There’s nothing better than a warm Orlando night at INTER&Co Stadium, so I can’t wait for many more to come. The fans deserve the best, and that is what I will continue to try to give while I am here in Orlando!”
Thórhallsson’s international experience further underscores his value. The Hafnarfjörður, Iceland native broke into the Icelandic National Team in 2022, making his senior international debut on November 6, 2022, in a friendly against Saudi Arabia. He has since totaled five appearances for the senior side. Since debuting for Iceland’s U16 squad in 2016, he has accumulated 34 appearances across all age groups and tallied two goals.
The new contract with Thórhallsson marks a strategic move for Orlando City SC as they continue to build a competitive and cohesive team. His commitment and passion for the game are evident, making him a valuable asset to the Club both now and in the future.
