This prestigious gathering, renowned for blending charity, sports, tourism, and unwavering football passion, will bring together Arsenal supporters from across Africa for an unforgettable experience. Organized by Arsenal Uganda, an officially registered supporters’ club, the event promises a thrilling spectacle of camaraderie, football enthusiasm, and impactful community initiatives.
Under the leadership of Chairman Abdu Sulaiman Semugenyi, Arsenal Uganda has meticulously planned an array of activities leading up to and following the festival.
