Atlanta United today announced Miguel Almirón as the recipient of the 2026 Atlanta United Media Ambassador award, presented by Gallagher. The award, exclusively voted on by local media, recognizes a First Team Atlanta United player who best displays values of professionalism, respect and integrity through their interactions with the media.
Gallagher, a global insurance brokerage, risk management and consulting services company, provided Almirón with $5,000 to direct to a local charitable organization. The club matched the contribution, raising the total donation to $15,000.
Almirón chose Agape Youth and Family Center, a non-profit organization with a mission to empower children and families from underserved communities and end generational poverty. The organization serves more than 200 children and families annually with programming that focuses on academic support and life skills training while also providing resources to help inspire hope and confidence in the next generation of Atlanta’s youth.
