Guinness has awarded six Ugandan football fans with an unforgettable prize: a trip to the United Kingdom to watch Premier League football live. The lucky winners, who will each be accompanied by a guest, were revealed at a recent Guinness Matchday watch party.
The competition tested fans’ knowledge of the Premier League and Guinness through a quiz. International sports commentator Andrew Kabura hosted the engaging event, which progressed through two rounds. The initial round took place during halftime of the Liverpool vs. Manchester City match, screened for fans gathered at the Uganda Institute of Information and Communications Technology (UICT) Grounds in Nakawa.
Following the first round, eight contestants moved on to a knockout stage, with six ultimately being crowned winners. Malaika Nyanzi, the sole female winner, expressed her surprise and excitement, stating she initially attended just to watch the game but decided to try her luck.
The prize handover ceremony was graced by the UK’s High Commissioner to Uganda, Lisa Chesney, along with Uganda Breweries Limited’s Managing Director, Felicite Nson, and other company officials. Denise Nazzinda, senior brand manager at Uganda Breweries Limited, highlighted the giveaway as a demonstration of Guinness going the extra mile to reward the loyalty of passionate Premier League supporters.
Guinness plans to offer four more tickets at an upcoming watch party scheduled for October 12, 2026, at The Villa in Bukoto. These events continue to be popular gatherings for football lovers and former Ugandan national team players, fostering a strong connection between the brand and its consumers.
