Manchester United the most popular Premier League club on the planet, new research reveals
- Manchester United is the most popular Premier League club in the world.
- Red Devils get top billing in 37.2% of all nations, 6.46% more than their closest rivals Liverpool.
- One of the Red Devils (93), or Reds (87), account for being the most popular in 72% of all countries.
- Collective efforts of Chelsa, Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham can account for just 39.78% of United’s global popularity.
Manchester United will begin the 30th Premier League season as the most popular Premier League club in the world, new research has confirmed.
While the Old Trafford club may have fallen away from challenging for trophies in recent years, they have maintained their grip as the Premier League’s most popular export, headlining in 93 of the 250 countries worldwide.
Hot on their heels, though, and closing fast is Merseyside outfit Liverpool, fuelled by their successes in 2019 and 2020, where they won both the Champions League and Premier League, the latter their first title triumph in 30 years. These on-field triumphs appear to have made all the difference, with the Anfield side now trailing by just 6.46%, or six countries to be precise!
The Liverpool-Manchester megalopolis – the two cities some 35 miles apart – is famed for its historic rivalry in sporting and other senses, and the pair lay unanimous claim to the lionshare of attention from a combined 180 nations, a colossal 72% of the planet.
For context, the combined global clout of Chelsea (19), Manchester City (9), Arsenal (8) and Tottenham (1) only musters 39.78% of Manchester United’s geographical wins on the international stage.
The True Colours of Football study, conducted by William Hill, crunched a range of search volume data for each top-flight club in hundreds of key towns and cities across the UK, as well as accurately mapping online popularity in almost every country across the globe.
Indicative of the beautiful game’s gravitas in Africa is Uganda, South Sudan and Kenya leading the way in interest in the Premier League’s elite, the UK, home to the game’s origins, fourth – just above Sierra Leone.
Big numbers in China and India spend their time following the travails of Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s United side, but it is a much more closely-fought affair in the U.S. and Canada, where they narrowly edge out Liverpool.
Liverpool red, though, washes over much of Europe, the Middle East and Russia, with unparalleled dominance in the northernmost region of the African continent, claiming four of the seven countries. And while West Africa appears to be very much a Chelsea stronghold, United enjoy the freedom of the continent’s south, dominating swathes of territory from Tanzania’s capital Dodoma to Cape Town in South Africa.
Six different clubs add colour to the vibrant palette of football that is South America, with the footballing powerhouses of Mexico and Brazil most compelled to follow Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side, while the EPL’s only Mexican player Raúl Jiménez elevates Wolverhampton into second spot in that particular nation, the Midlands club outscoring the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City.The of Columbian poster boy James Rodriguez instantly elevated Everton to El Maximo – the biggest thing there is, Miguel Almirón ensures Newcastle enjoys plenty of Paraguayan affection and Marcelo Bielsa, the enigmatic Argentine who ended Leeds’ 16-year wait for Premier League football, has won the hearts and minds of his countrymen and women back home.

Reflex Gaming launches Sidewinder Xtra Power via Yggdrasil Masters
Sequel adds an Xtra Power bar to the Sidewinder Shuffle feature, with multipliers and Wild upgrades built into the trail mechanic.
Reflex Gaming has launched Sidewinder Xtra Power, a sequel to its Sidewinder title, with distribution through the Yggdrasil Masters Program.
The game uses a 5×3, 20-payline fruit slot format and brings back the Sidewinder Shuffle mechanic. Reflex said the Sidewinder Feature is triggered when five orbs light up above the reels, turning losing spins into winners as the reels shuffle into position.
Reflex said each winning shuffle increases a multiplier trail, with trail targets unlocking Wilds, Super Wilds, Mega Wilds and symbol upgrades. Mystery symbols can also land in the base game, with shutters opening simultaneously across the reels to reveal the same symbol.
The main addition is the Xtra Power Sidewinder feature. Reflex said four orbs in the base game boost a power bar, and once the bar is full, the next triggered shuffle feature opens Xtra Power. During Xtra Power events, each triggering orb reveals a multiplier boost.
Mat Ingram, CPO at Reflex Gaming, said: “With Xtra Power, we wanted to give the Sidewinder experience an extra dimension, and the power bar does exactly that.
“Players now have two things to chase simultaneously, and when the Xtra Power feature fires with the multiplier already boosted from the start, it delivers the kind of moment that is truly the cherry on top.”

Artificial intelligence
QCI Launches QCI Resorts, the Unified Intelligence Platform for Resorts
Quick Custom Intelligence (QCI), a leading provider of gaming and hospitality technology, announced the launch of QCI Resorts, a unified intelligence platform designed specifically for modern resort operations.
For decades, the resort industry has pursued a vision of operational unification through integrations, data warehouses, and interconnected software systems. While these approaches connected information across departments, they also created increasing complexity, duplicated data, delayed decision-making, and limited the ability of organizations to fully leverage artificial intelligence.
Built on the QCI AGI Platform, QCI Resorts delivers a single operational environment where hospitality, food and beverage, point-of-sale, marketing, loyalty, guest engagement, operations, and enterprise intelligence operate from one unified intelligence layer. Rather than moving information between disconnected applications, QCI Resorts enables resort operations to function within a shared real-time platform designed for intelligence-driven decision making.
The launch marks a significant milestone in QCI’s vision for the future of resort technology—one where unified operational intelligence replaces fragmented software stacks and where agentic systems can operate with a complete understanding of the enterprise.
“After more than two decades building data warehouses and integration platforms, generative AI enabled for another approach. Instead of connecting more systems together, we can now deliver most resort operations through a single real-time software stack. Gaming remains integrated where regulations require it, but hospitality, marketing, loyalty, food and beverage, operations, and intelligence can operate from a unified platform. That foundation is what makes true agentic resort operations possible,” said Andrew Cardno, Co-Founder and CTO of QCI.
Unlike traditional resort technology architectures that rely on multiple vendors, extensive integrations, and centralized data warehouses, QCI Resorts operates from a shared data model, shared workflow architecture, and shared intelligence layer. This approach enables real-time operational intelligence across the enterprise while providing the foundation required for AI agents to understand, coordinate, and execute actions across resort operations.
“QCI Resorts is not another integration platform. For decades, the industry has pursued the vision of a unified resort platform. The goal was right, but the technology wasn’t ready. Today, advances in AI and agentic systems make it possible to deliver what operators have always wanted: a single real-time operational system where hospitality, marketing, loyalty, food and beverage, operations, and intelligence work together as one, with gaming integrated where regulations require. QCI Resorts is that system,” said Ralph Thomas, Co-Founder and CEO of QCI.
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the hospitality industry, QCI believes the next generation of resort technology will not be defined by how many systems can be integrated together, but by how effectively intelligence can operate across the entire enterprise.
“Agentic AI achieves its greatest potential when it operates within a complete understanding of the business. The future belongs to systems that can understand the entire resort, not just individual departments. That is the vision behind QCI Resorts,” added Cardno.
QCI Resorts is being introduced as the industry’s first unified intelligence platform purpose-built for gaming and hospitality operations, enabling operators to move beyond fragmented architecture toward a real-time operational intelligence model designed for the era of agentic AI.
