Atlanta United announced a strategic partnership with Scottish club Aberdeen on November 24, 2019. A quick excerpt from the official press release of that announcement described the new relationship as such:
The strategic partnership will serve to expand Atlanta United’s reach globally and will be an opportunity for both clubs to share knowledge and experience including player and youth development, fan experience and venue best practices. The partnership also has technical advantages by extending Atlanta United’s scouting network into a new region and allowing for a development pipeline between the clubs.
Up until now, aside from some bits and pieces of news, the most notable piece of business resulting from the partnership has been Jon Gallagher’s loan to Aberdeen.
