Brazilian midfielder Kaka has claimed that making his MLS debut for Orlando City at the weekend will be one of the most special moments in his career.

The 32-year-old is among a number of high-profile players who made the switch to the US for the new season, and he is excited about getting the campaign underway against New York City on Sunday.

"I'm very excited and looking forward to playing on Sunday because I have had very special moments in my career and I think Sunday will be one of these," Kaka told reporters.

"It's the first game of the league, so it will be an amazing day for me."

Kaka will be coming up against World Cup winner David Villa, who is set to make his competitive debut for New York in Florida.
