Four more football fans have won tickets to watch the English Premier League live in the United Kingdom this season, courtesy of Guinness.

The quartet was announced on Monday, October 12, 2026, at the Guinness Matchday watch party held at The Villa in Bukoto, Kampala.

Among the winners was Uganda Cranes legend and former captain Emmanuel Okwi, who had simply come to the venue to enjoy a Monday night Premier League clash between Coventry and Newcastle that ended 4-1 in favour of the former.

The winning mechanism was simple and transparent. The top eight close predictions in the Matchday minutes were picked to compete for the grand prizes of four tickets after the final game.

The questions to determine the winners were about Guinness and the Premier League. The session was moderated by sports journalist Allan Darren Kyeyune.

Okwi might have played in different leagues across the continent, but watching the English Premier League has always meant following the action on television. The opportunity to experience the game live in the UK, however, brings a whole new level of excitement.

“I honestly didn’t expect this. I came to enjoy the game on TV, and now I’m going to watch the Premier League live in the UK! I’m really happy and excited about the whole experience. It’s one thing to watch the games on TV, but being there in person will be something else. Big thanks to Guinness for making this happen,” Okwi said.

The winners share a podium moment with Uganda Breweries Limited staff.

The other three winners comprised Clementine Uwiragiye, a female winner, Roy Tesot and Gift Bikundi Ivan.

The latest giveaway follows Sunday’s Guinness Matchday watch party at UICT Grounds in Nakawa, where six other fans won tickets to watch the Premier League.

Winners will also have the option of travelling with a plus-one, with the prize covering the trip for both.

Denise Nazzinda, Senior Brand Manager at Uganda Breweries Limited, said the Premier League ticket giveaway reflects Guinness’ commitment to rewarding football fans with experiences that go beyond watching the game on screen.

Football fans make a toast at the Guinness Matchday watch party on Monday night.

“Every matchday, fans bring their predictions, knowledge of the game and passion for their teams. With Guinness Matchday, we are giving that passion an exciting reward. The chance to watch the Premier League live in the UK is something special, and through these giveaways, we are making that experience possible for our fans. We have already given away ten tickets, with five more still available, so there is more EXTRA in store for those who come out and take part in Guinness Matchday,” she said.

With ten tickets awarded so far, five more remain to be won through upcoming Guinness Matchday activations.

Meanwhile, at The Villa, as Coventry played Newcastle on the giant screens, Abeeka Band entertained the crowd with live renditions of popular songs, mainly throwbacks, while Kampala’s top DJs kept the energy high.

Fans are encouraged to look out for the next Guinness Matchday activation for more football, entertainment and a chance to win a trip to experience the Premier League live in the UK.
