“Working in the sector of sports and entertainment, while being a protector of people, is an absolute honor,” says Scott Ashworth, Director of Security for Atlanta United. “I love sports and, being an Atlanta native, I love Atlanta sports as well. It meets the mark where my two passions intersect, which makes it the perfect position for me. I’m grateful to the company and the corporation.”
Atlanta United joined Major League Soccer in 2017 and won the 2018 MLS Cup in just its second season, the earliest an expansion team has won the title since 1998. Owned by Arthur M. Blank, and led by club President Darren Eales, Atlanta United plays its home matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, located in the heart of Atlanta, Ga. Since opening in August 2017, the stadium has achieved many milestones – hosting the 2019 Super Bowl, the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship, Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl and Kickoff Games and numerous sporting events.
