West Ham United Announces Partnership with Visit Jacksonville for USA Tour

-

West Ham United Football Club announced a tour partnership with Visit Jacksonville that will highlight the vibrant and authentic values of Jacksonville, affectionately known as “The Flip Side of Florida," during the 2024/25 Sunshine State tour.

As part of the collaboration, Visit Jacksonville, which attracts over 22 million visitors per year will be integrated into various aspects of our tour, showcasing the city’s attractions and rich history. The team itself will be visiting Jacksonville for our match against Wolverhampton Wanderers at EverBank Stadium on 27 July.

 

Visit Jacksonville will feature on the LED advertising boards at both tour matches, providing exposure to both a US and global audience. The partnership will also create opportunities to collaboratively develop content that captures the essence of this great city.

 

In the ‘Flip Side of Florida Quiz,’ West Ham United first team players Vladimir Coufal, Lucasz Fabianski and Konstantinos Mavropanos were tested on their knowledge of Jacksonville while sharing fun facts about the city. Club Ambassador Anton Ferdinand will also visit a number of the city’s leading attractions. These content pieces will be distributed across West Ham United’s social media channels, website, and other digital platforms, offering fans a unique glimpse into what makes Jacksonville so special.

 

The Club’s US tour provides the ideal platform to highlight Jacksonville as a standout destination. From its stunning beaches, lively arts scene and welcoming community, Jacksonville truly captures the very best of Florida. The partnership aims to further enhance Jacksonville's appeal, positioning it as a must-visit location for travellers seeking authentic experiences.

 

Nathan Thompson, Chief Commercial Officer at West Ham United, commented: "This partnership with Visit Jacksonville is a testament to our commitment to forging meaningful connections across the globe. By showcasing Jacksonville’s culture and unique attractions, we are not only enhancing our tour experience but also championing a city that embodies the spirit of exploration and adventure. Together, we are excited to create unforgettable moments that will elevate Jacksonville as a premier destination for travellers worldwide."

 

Michael Corrigan, President & CEO of Visit Jacksonville said: “Through our partnership with West Ham United, we’re excited about reaching potential visitors from England and beyond,”

 

“We’re looking forward to welcoming the team and its fans to Jacksonville for part of the Stateside Cup this weekend and hopefully for visits beyond this match to show everyone the great things to see and do here, on the Flip Side of Florida.”

  The golf world and the world in general lost one of its most incredible women with the passing of Kathy Whitworth yesterday. Kathy was a champion in the truest sense of the word, both on the golf course and off. In the short time I spent with Kathy, I was truly blown away by her and her approach to the game and to life. Her strength, insightfulness and vibrancy were obvious from the minute you met her! She inspired me as a young girl and now as the commissioner and I know she did the same for so many others. We all mourn with Bettye, her family and the entire golf world.” – LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan (From the LPGA) By Ron Sirak The dining room at Trophy Club Country Club near Flower Mound, Texas, gazes upon the rolling hills and old oak trees through which two courses meander, one named for the club’s most famous member, Kathy Whitworth, the other the lone design by the icon of Texas golf, Ben Hogan.

(Photo by Nancy Beecher/Florida Sports Wire)   TAMPA (Florida Sports Wire) - Garrett Nussmeier showed why LSU is confident he's capable of thriving as Jayden Daniels' successor. The 13th-ranked Tigers (10-3) launched the team's post-Daniels era with a 35-31, come-from-behind victory over Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Monday, with a calm Nussmeier leading a 98-yard drive to produce the winning touchdown in the closing minutes. "You do what you have to do to win the football game. It doesn't matter if you start from the 1, the 2 ... you just stick to the process play-by-play, move the chains, move the chains and put the ball in the end zone," the third-year sophomore said. "That doesn't just speak to me, it speaks to our entire group," Nussmeier added. "You can't do it by yourself. And to go 98 yards with the game on the line, that means a lot to me. To be the leader of the offense, that matters more." Stepping in to make his f
