What is the Arnold Clark Cup?
The Arnold Clark Cup was created by the Football Association of England to add another semi-competitive tournament to the annual calendar, intended to act as a buffer zone between major international tournaments such as the European Championships and World Cups.
The first edition in 2022 was won by England who finished the competition with four teams ahead of Spain, Canada and Germany.
