Where British Football Experience Meets American Soccer Ambition British Leadership and the Future of American Soccer

Join the British American Business Council Central Florida for a special holiday networking evening in Tampa, featuring an engaging fireside chat exploring the journey from English football to the growing opportunities within American soccer, sponsored by Benchmark International.

Bringing together Tommy Poston, Mark Cartwright and Tony Scholes, this conversation will explore the people, experiences and ambitions shaping the future of the game on both sides of the Atlantic.

From their backgrounds and journeys through English football to the opportunities that brought them to the United States and the USL, our panelists will share their perspectives on the differences between the English and American football landscapes, the evolution of the sport in the US, and where they see the greatest opportunities for future growth.

Beyond the pitch, the discussion will consider the broader business landscape surrounding American soccer. Designed to be an open and engaging conversation rather than a formal presentation, this is an opportunity to hear directly from experienced leaders in the game, gain insight into the future of American soccer, and connect with fellow professionals across the British-American business community.

The evening will also offer valuable networking opportunities with business leaders, investors and members of the wider Tampa Bay community.

Celebrate the season, make new connections and discover what lies ahead for the beautiful game across the pond.,
