On 13 August 2016, KingFut was appointed by Premier League club Stoke City to manage its official Arabic social media accounts and digital media presence across different platforms, just two weeks after the English club announced the signing of Egypt's wonderkid Ramadan Sobhi. This move was part of the English club's strategy to expand its international reach and communicate with Arabic speaking fans in Western Asia, Northern Africa and the Arab diaspora.[4][5]
