Arnold Ash, the executive recruitment and advisory specialist, has become sponsor of the Arthurian League’s US Tour, culminating in the inaugural Transatlantic Cup – a prestigious fixture between title-winning English and American amateur sides.
Marking 250 years of US independence, the game is scheduled during the 2026 World Cup, taking place on Friday 26 June in Philadelphia, the birthplace of American independence.
US amateur champions West Chester United SC are holders of the 2025 US Adult Soccer Association (USASA) National Amateur Cup. They will host a side representing England’s Arthurian League, which won the 2024 FA Inter-League Cup and features some of the oldest football clubs ever, including former FA Cup winners Old Etonians and Old Carthusians.
Arnold Ash’s logo will appear on the front of the Arthurian side’s white and red England kit. As the team’s headline partner the deal covers the travelling squad’s full 12-day tour with additional matches against New York Athletic Club and Boston Bolts.
The multi award-winning executive recruitment and advisory firm will also benefit from in-stadium branding at the ticketed match at Drexel University’s Vidal Athletic Complex, as well as on the historic event’s online and social channels.
The sponsorship builds on a relationship that saw Arnold Ash sponsor the Arthurian League representative team at the UEFA Regions Cup 2024. Its commitment to grassroots sport and emerging talent has seen the company support a number of charities, including Gloves and Doves, which helps promote unity and coexistence in Israel and the Middle East through the sport of boxing, and sponsor and support rising star boxer ‘Razor Ali’, an Iranian refugee based in London.
Jon Arnold, CEO at Arnold Ash, said: “Arnold Ash has been a proud sponsor of the Arthurian League representative sides at major events before, but it doesn’t get any bigger than this. The team is hugely talented, made up of the top amateur players England has to offer and – as the best-of-the-best – reflect the Arnold Ash core principles of quality, experience and consistency.
“The World Cup is now underway, but for the next five weeks, the Transatlantic Cup is where the real action is at! We wish both England teams the best of luck stateside!”
Billy Jenkins, Manager of the Arthurian League representative team, said: “Arnold Ash’s sponsorship is hugely valuable to our team, and we are incredibly grateful for their continued backing of grassroots football.
“We are honoured to participate in the first-ever Transatlantic Cup and just like England’s professional team hope to be lifting prestigious silverware on US soil in the coming weeks.”
The Transatlantic Cup takes place at 7.30pm on Friday 26 June, 2026 at Drexel University, Philadelphia. Tickets cost $15 and are available at www.wcp.flicket.io.

Supplier deal brings instant-win, crash, table games and cinematic slots to operators across QTech’s emerging-markets network.
QTech has signed a new supplier partnership with Phantom, adding the studio’s catalogue of instant-win, crash and “cinematic slots” content to QTech’s aggregation platform.
QTech said the integration expands its content offering for operators in emerging markets, positioning Phantom’s games alongside other suppliers on its platform. The company also framed the addition as a fit for mobile-first audiences and shorter play sessions.
According to the companies, Phantom’s games are designed to be lightweight and fast-loading—an approach aimed at markets where handset performance, network speeds and data costs can affect gameplay, including parts of Africa and Latin America.
QTech CEO, Philip Doftvik, said: “We’re dedicated to rolling out more and more high-class content and product innovation that drives revenue for our partners. So, this deal with Phantom extends our impressive sequential pipeline for 2026, and underlines our ability to deliver tailored content solutions for local markets, particularly in regions where lightweight, fast-loading games are key to player engagement.”
Natalie Pierce, Head of Marketing at Phantom, added: “At Phantom we create out-of-the-box gaming content designed for specific markets, player groups, and unique experiences to push the boundaries of casino content. We specialize in fast-paced, original casino games that bring instant excitement and big wins, crash, mines, dice, limbo, plinko, and more. QTech’s aggregation platform is a renowned gateway to new audiences worldwide, and we can’t wait to see how our highly engaging games perform across a largely untouched swathe of emerging markets for Phantom.”
