Quincy Amarikwa is a former MLS forward and soccer entrepreneur who blends pro-level credibility with strong family, community, and business storytelling. As the founder behind Perfect Soccer and a visible voice in American soccer, he brings an authentic audience for campaigns across sports, training, lifestyle, and purpose-driven brands.
 Quincy Amarikwa, a driven, focused serial entrepreneur, mentor, philanthropist and future billionaire, who also happens to play professional soccer for a Major League Soccer team: the San Jose Earthquakes. Quincy was born the eldest and only son of four to a Nigerian father and Native/German American mother from Montana. He learned his work ethic and self-reliance early and has applied that not only to his soccer career, but to every aspect of his life. Quincy has always had a knack for starting businesses and turning what he loves into a lucrative endeavor. His ultimate goal is to teach others how to do the same for themselves using his platform as a professional soccer player to impact a larger audience. Quincy has already begun his journey of helping others with his published book “The Perfect Soccer Player Blueprint” where he shares tips on how to master the game of soccer and become the best player on the field every game. Quincy also maintains several newsletters, sharing on topics from financial literacy, goal setting/achieving, navigating the world of soccer and addressing submitted subscriber topics by offering advice based on his own experience’s moving through building his businesses and life. Quincy started learning how to “hack systems” and improve upon them from a young age. Breaking things down in a manner that addressed only what was needed, and ignoring the rest, he’s been able to achieve success in multiple fields simultaneously. By seventeen, he was a college student at University California Davis studying Pre Med. While there and in his free time, he discovered eBay and Amazon and used these platforms to start his first online business. Buying and selling everything from: textbooks, iPhones, iPods, computers, wholesale clothing, shoes, watches, classic bicycles, and more. Only one thing stopped him from taking this endeavor on full time. Already playing Division I collegiate soccer, Quincy had demonstrated his above average soccer abilities and was drafted to the San Jose Earthquakes in 2009, putting on pause his business endeavors to pursue a professional soccer career. After getting traded the first time, Quincy realized though MLS was on track to become a top league in time, he couldn’t rely on a league also fighting to find its place in the spotlight to get him where he ultimately wanted to be in life. So he began to look for a new business venture to develop into something great of his own, while leveraging the extra time playing professional soccer allotted him. IN BUSINESS In that time he when on to teach himself multi-level marketing, affiliate marketing, paid advertising, sales funnels, social media marketing, SEO, business building, public speaking, broadcasting, blogging, website and brand creation, email marketing, manufacturing, importing, app development, project management, sports marketing, taxation, options trading, real estate development, hard money lending, investing and more. Eventually putting all of that knowledge into starting multiple companies in multiple industries, which he currently runs today with his wife Sirena. Quincy is more resolved now than ever to bring the knowledge and systems he’s learned over the last eight years and help those that want to help themselves in 2017 and beyond. Quincy is soon to launch his online academy which will teach the basics of financial literacy, eventually moving in to a more detailed curriculum on how to leverage your passions into starting a profitable business of your own. Quincy plans to utilize his notoriety as an MLS soccer player to create opportunities to help others chase and catch their dreams.

Press Release · New York, NY
The world's largest athlete marketing platform reports 277 million views from soccer creators in the last eight weeks, with 1,552 bookable soccer athletes ready for brand activation across 15+ countries. Clients including Walmart and USA Today are already activating ahead of kickoff.
OpenSponsorship, the world's largest athlete marketing platform backed by Serena Williams and David Blitzer, today released proprietary data showing the scale of the creator opportunity around the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which kicks off Thursday, June 11th in North America. With brands including Walmart and USA Today already activating soccer creator campaigns through the platform, OpenSponsorship is positioned as the go-to partner for brands looking to win the biggest sports marketing moment of the decade.
The platform's soccer roster has generated 277 million views in the last eight weeks alone, with 276 viral posts clearing 100,000 views across just 86 athletes. OpenSponsorship has 1,552 publicly listed and bookable soccer athletes across 15+ countries, including 893 in the United States, alongside athletes from the UK, Mexico, Canada, Spain, Brazil, France, Nigeria, and more.
Brands that can't sign elite players can still reach their audienceWith 48 nations competing in the largest World Cup in history, brands face a common challenge: the biggest names are either off limits or out of budget. OpenSponsorship's data shows that mid-tier and creator talent routinely out-reaches their follower counts by 50 to 100x — giving brands access to the same passionate fan audiences at a fraction of the cost of global stars.
“The World Cup is the biggest commercial moment in sports marketing history, and the brands that win it will not be the ones who waited for the tournament to start. Our soccer athletes have already generated 277 million views in the last two months. The audience is engaged, the creators are ready, and the window to activate at the best rates closes when kickoff happens.” — Ishveen Jolly, Founder & CEO, OpenSponsorshipWalmart and USA Today: what World Cup activation actually delivers
OpenSponsorship's recent Walmart Soccer Saturday campaign demonstrates what's possible when brands activate the right soccer creators. The campaign — which featured AA9Skillz, Brittany Wilson, Matty Farias, Sean Garnier, and others — generated the following:
USA Today is also activating soccer creator campaigns through OpenSponsorship ahead of the World Cup, leveraging the platform's roster of 1,552 bookable soccer athletes to reach highly engaged audiences across the US, Canada, and Mexico — the three host nations for the 2026 tournament.
“When creators genuinely love a sport and an event, it shows in the content. The Walmart campaign worked because the athletes were authentic soccer fans first and brand partners second. That authenticity is exactly what drives the kind of engagement numbers brands cannot get from traditional advertising.” — Ishveen Jolly, Founder & CEO, OpenSponsorshipThe World Cup activation window
OpenSponsorship's data shows a clear opportunity curve for World Cup brand activation. Athletes are available now at pre-tournament rates, with demand and pricing expected to rise sharply once the group stage begins June 11th.
Brands that lock in creator partnerships before the tournament begins benefit from lower rates, more authentic content, and deeper athlete relationships that extend beyond the tournament window. OpenSponsorship's white-glove managed service handles sourcing, contracting, content briefing, delivery, and ROI reporting end to end.
