The GHI football tournament feels like a staple part of arguably the best global Aviation event. The tournament allows you to network and socialise in an informal environment and compliments the event with a more social twist. Over the years I have made some great friends, connected with many Aviation professionals, and had a great laugh along the way.

Aaron Bradley, MD, Irlam Associates

Getting together for the football tournament is a fun way to see your industry colleagues in a completely different setting. Here we get together on teams with people we may have only said ‘hello’ to in a formal setting or may not ever have met. We compete on the pitch because it is more fun to win than to lose, but afterwards we share drinks and laughs.

Lars Barsoe, VP Sales & Marketing, Vestergaard

This tournament is one of the best days of the year. It’s not just about playing football — it’s about catching up with colleagues and industry friends in a completely different setting. What I love most is how relaxed everything feels. It’s amazing how many ideas and connections come out of just spending a day together on the field.

Willie Martinez, International Sales Director, Textron

The GHI Football Tournament isn't just a friendly fixture; it's the perfect complement to the conference. You arrive with business cards and leave with great connections, sore legs, and a smile. If you're looking for the best way to truly connect with like-minded professionals, this is it. I plan on being top scorer this year

Arnold Omodho Head of Projects Tradewinds Aviation Services

The GHI Football Tournament is a great way to bring our fellow colleagues together after a productive week of meetings and really brings folks from across the world to play an international sport that many cherish, as we approach the 2026 World Cup it brings a level of competition, fun, and networking that fulfills lifelong connections for the years to come!

Even the coaches have fun, and look forward to more folks to come out and support our fellow aviation colleagues!

Chad Siu, Vice President, Ground Handling, WFS

I would strongly recommend this event as the perfect complement to the conference. It gives you the chance to meet and socialize with people from the business in a relaxed atmosphere over food and drinks, and of course, playing football.
