Guinness, the Official Beer of the Premier League, hosted football fans across Nairobi and Mombasa for a memorable Guinness Matchday experience following Arsenal’s confirmation as Premier League champions for the 2025/2026 season.
The title was officially secured after Arsenal defeated Crystal Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park, sealing a historic campaign that saw the North London club crowned Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years with 85 points. The victory marked the end of Arsenal’s long wait for league glory after finishing runners-up in three consecutive seasons.
Elsewhere, Aston Villa spoiled Pep Guardiola’s farewell party after defeating Manchester City 2-1, days after Guardiola announced his departure from the club following a trophy-laden era at City. Manchester City finished the season in second place with 78 points, while Manchester United maintained third place with 71 points after a commanding 3-0 victory against Brighton.
The atmosphere across both Guinness Matchday venues reflected the passion and intensity that defines true football fandom, with fans fully immersed in the action from kick-off to the final whistle. Arsenal supporters at Al Capone in Nairobi and Club Mios in Mombasa erupted into celebration as Arsenal lifted the Premier League trophy, creating unforgettable scenes of joy and excitement.
The experience was elevated by engaging football conversations, Guinness Matchday Cleansheet Challenge and expert punditry from Lotan Salapei, who guided fans through the highs, tension, and defining moments of the night.
“As the 25/26 Premier League season comes to an end with a momentous win for Arsenal, Guinness is proud to continue creating spaces where fans can experience these unforgettable moments together. We would like to especially thank our consumers who showed up to Guinness Matchday experiences this year. We remain committed to bringing you even better experiences next season,” said Joy Murugi, Brand Manager Guinness.
Beyond the football action, attendees were treated to an electrifying entertainment line-up that kept the celebrations going long after the final whistle.
In Nairobi, fans enjoyed performances and high-energy entertainment from DJ Xclusive, MC Leroy, and music duo Watendawili while in Mombasa, the celebrations were powered by hip hop heavyweight Khaligraph Jones alongside MC Gogo, DJ Grauchi, and BV Accurate, delivering an unforgettable close to the Premier League season.
The Matchday experience also featured immersive fan engagement moments, premium Guinness serves, and a vibrant social atmosphere that transformed both venues into the ultimate football viewing destinations for the final day of the season.
Through Guinness Matchday, Guinness continues to strengthen its connection with football fans by creating memorable experiences rooted in passion, authenticity, and the shared love of the Premier League.
