Popular global football fan platform AFTV, known for its strong Arsenal support, is set to visit Uganda later this month in what is expected to be a major moment for local football fans.
The group, led by Robbie Lyle alongside Cecil and Lee Judges, will be in the country from April 24 to April 30, 2026.
The announcement was made on their official X account, which has nearly one million followers.
"AFTV are coming to Uganda! Robbie, Cecil and Lee Judges touching down 24-30 April." the group posted on social media.
AFTV, formerly ArsenalFanTV, is widely regarded as one of the biggest fan-driven football media platforms in the world. It was founded in 2012 by Robbie Lyle and has built its name on post-match fan reactions, podcasts, and live discussions, giving supporters a direct voice after games.
Over the years, the platform has grown far beyond YouTube, where it has more than 1.8 million subscribers, and now runs across multiple social media channels and spin-off fan projects.
The Uganda trip is expected to connect the group with local Arsenal supporters, who have long been recognised for their passion and strong following of the English Premier League club.
Ugandan fans have often been praised internationally for their loyalty and energy.
The visit is also seen as a boost for Uganda’s sports and tourism profile, coming at a time when the country is pushing to attract more international attention.
Last week, global DJ Diplo also visited Uganda, touring parts of the country including wildlife destinations in the west.
AFTV’s arrival is expected to add to growing interest in Uganda as a destination for both sports and entertainment personalities.
The crew’s visit comes at a time when debate continues to intensify over who will lift the 2025/26 English Premier League title.
Arsenal currently sit top of the table with 70 points, three ahead of Manchester City, although City still have a game in hand.
Tension among Arsenal supporters has risen in recent days, especially after Sunday’s defeat to City, which cut the gap at the summit to just three points.
