Admiral Sports is proud to announce that the Mississippi Soccer Association’s recreational state cup will now be called the Admiral Cup.
“Our sponsorship of this event adds to our existing agreement with the Mississippi Soccer Association,” Admiral Sports CEO Paul Hamburger stated. “It takes our relationship even further, bringing us even closer. This is about state associations working with Admiral, which allows them to give more value to their member clubs.”
The Mississippi Soccer Association is a nonprofit organization that represents over 16,000 youth soccer players, 3,000 coaches and 1,000 referees throughout the State of Mississippi. MSA consists of various leagues that register youth players (boys and girls) from ages of 4 through 19 and adult players 20 and older, throughout the state. It is their mission to serve Mississippi by promoting soccer and educating players, coaches, officials, and families in a safe and fun environment.
“Recreational soccer is the foundation by which our organization is built,” Mississippi Soccer Association Executive Director Kay Bouler added. “To have Admiral sponsor our recreational state cup, now known as the Admiral Cup, is something we are extremely excited about. Admiral has gone above and beyond to help us with this event and we look forward to a long and prosperous partnership.”

Admiral has grown into a major player in the North American market, becoming the second-largest soccer brand supplying professional teams in the U.S.
Today Admiral is the brand of champions, being worn by the 2013 Premier Development League (PDL) Champion Austin Aztex and the 2014 PDL Champion Michigan Bucks. Admiral is a pivotal figure for USL PRO, PDL, Major Arena Soccer League (MASL), National Premier Soccer League (NPSL), US Youth Soccer state associations, and youth teams across the country.
