ATLANTA, GA — August 7, 2025 — Intrepid Sports Group (ISG) announced today the acquisition of Global Image Sports (GIS), a leading provider of international soccer experiences. The move marks a major milestone in ISG’s ongoing expansion within the global soccer landscape and strengthens its vertically integrated platform of soccer-focused businesses.
Founded by James Abrahart, GIS has been recognized for its high-quality youth player development tours, training camps, and coaching education programs, conducted in partnership with top-tier European clubs.
