Arnold Ash sponsors Arthurian League’s 2026 US Tour
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.

Gamblers Connect names Gali Hartuv as seventh 2026 Contributors Program voice
The Playa strategic advisor will publish on VIP operations, segmentation and retention, starting with an anonymous VIP Operations Survey 2026.
Gamblers Connect has confirmed Gali Hartuv, Strategic Advisor at The Playa, as the seventh voice to join its 2026 Contributors Program.
The independent B2B iGaming media platform said the programme will reveal one senior industry voice per month throughout 2026, with contributors publishing under the Gamblers Connect Contributor Editorial Code.
Gamblers Connect said Hartuv has more than 15 years’ experience in VIP management, including designing and optimising VIP programmes across more than 50 operator brands, and training “hundreds of professionals” now working in VIP roles across the industry.
Hartuv will publish across four areas: building VIP programmes that drive long-term value; AI-powered VIP identification and player segmentation; hyper-personalisation and retention strategy; and scaling VIP operations across different markets and cultures. His first contribution is a VIP Operations Survey 2026, an anonymous survey intended to benchmark how VIP teams work across iGaming operators, including portfolio sizing, tools, qualification thresholds, workflow standards and where time is spent during the week.
Partnerships and Operations Lead, Luka Dimitrijevic, said: “VIP management is where a great deal of an operator’s value is won or lost, and very few people can speak to it with Gali’s depth. He has spent his career turning high value player relationships into a discipline rather than guesswork, and he is refreshingly candid about what works and what does not. Through the Contributors Program he will share practical insight on VIP strategy, retention, and the smart use of AI, with content grounded in real results rather than recycled best practices.”
